The department also received a call from an employee of a nearby restaurant who said he locked the doors after he heard about the alleged robbery.

He said a female employee at Subway was “hysterical” after she ran into his restaurant. He told dispatchers that several people were seen running to their cars in the parking lot.

Police this morning said no arrests have been made and the investigation is continuing.
