Cash register theft from McDonald's leads to traffic tie up on the I-190

An earlier incident on the I-190N near Austin Street has been cleared.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Traffic was backed up on the I-190 Friday morning due to two separate incidents. 

The first incident began on 2100 block of Niagara Street around 9 a.m. Buffalo Police say a person allegedly took a cash register from the McDonald's restaurant and fled the scene on foot. 

They say the suspect was taken into custody.

There was a report that the suspect may have tried to carjack a vehicle. Buffalo Police are looking into that as part of their investigation. 

Then, on the I-190, between Sheridan Drive and Ontario Street exits, there was a disabled vehicle at the same time, which caused traffic in the southbound lanes to be backed up. That has since been cleared.
