ST. LOUIS — Employees inside the Domino's located on Kingshighway near Delmar Boulevard became the victims of a robbery on Saturday night.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department sent District 5 officers to reports of a hold-up at the restaurant at 802 North Kingshighway Boulevard around 10 p.m. that night.
One employee was standing outside at the rear of the building when a man ran up to her wearing dark clothing and a white medical-type mask while displaying a handgun, police said. He then announced a robbery and forced her inside the building, according to the police report.
The suspect began demanding she open the safe, police said, but the employee said she did not have access to the safe. The suspect then threatened to harm another employee if she did not open the safe.
According to the SLMPD, the employee rebutted again she did not have access to the safe and so the suspect demanded she open the cash register.
Once the employee did this, the suspect allegedly stole cash from the register and fled the restaurant.
Police did not say how many victims were inside the restaurant when the robbery took place.
The suspect has not been arrested. SLMPD is urging anyone with information to contact the District 5 Detective Bureau at 314-444-0001.
This is an ongoing investigation.
