Binghamton Police Seeking West Side Robbery Suspect

Detectives say they are trying to find a man suspected of robbing a restaurant on Binghamton's West Side.

Investigators are seeking 26-year-old Brian Chase of Binghamton. They believe he robbed Far East Chinese Restaurant at 287 Main Street on January 29.
