Local police investigate attempted robbery

Janesville police are investigating an attempted robbery of a fast-food restaurant on the city’s north side.  Police say the attempt occurred at the Culver’s on Milton Avenue a little after 7:00 p.m. Thursday.  Officers say a heavy-set white-male in a red four-door jeep, without license plates, came through the drive-thru and gave the attendant a note demanding money.  While a number of workers gathered to review the note, the would-be robber drove away.  Police say this attempt is very similar to a robbery at a Culver’s in Lake Mills late last month.
