Even after utilizing the sheriff's department's helicopter, Yucaipa deputies could not locate a man suspected of holding up a local chicken restaurant.
A man suspected of holding up a clerk at a Yucaipa eatery was sought Friday.
According to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, a robber walked into the Juan Pollo restaurant on County Line Road, near Calimesa Blvd. around 6:45 p.m. Thursday.
