(WWJ) Troy police are searching for suspects after someone pulled a gun on workers at a Chipotle restaurant.

Sergeant Meghan Lehman says two unknown men approached the restaurant on Crooks Road, shortly after it closed for the night. 


"They were waiting outside when an employee went out to take the garbage out, so this was the back door of the store, " Lehman told WWJ's Sandra McNeill. "The one with the gun approached him, basically pushed him back in the store and they demanded money from the employees. They were after the money in the safe."

Lehman said the robbers got away, but without any cash, and without any shots fired.

"This happened around 8:40 to they were just cleaning up and getting ready to leave," Lehman added. "(It's) very fortunate there was no customers in the store. There were several employees all shaken up, but no one was hurt."

Police are hoping someone in the public can help identify the wanted men, caught on camera, who are estimated to be around 20 to 30 years old. 

"One was wearing a bandana, one was wearing a Halloween-type mask. You know, robbers have been doing this for years. They wouldn't have been able to slip out in public without being noticed for these face masks they were wearing," Lehman said. 

Suspect number one is described as 6' to 6'4 tall and approximately 180 to 200 pounds. He was wearing a blacked hooded sweatshirt, a red ski mask, black gloves and black pants and was armed with a black semi-automatic handgun.

Suspect two is described as 6'1 to 6'2, approximately 160 to 180 pounds. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black/white mask or bandana, black gloves, black pants and carrying a black Wayne State University drawstring backpack.

Anyone with information is asked to call Troy detectives at 248-524-3477.
