Two persons of interest are now in custody in connection to an armed robbery and car theft at a Bucks County bar last week.
The armed heist took place around 2:45 a.m. Friday at Bar Louie on Rockhill Drive in Bensalem, Pennsylvania.
Police said that three to five masked men armed with a gun, knife and stun gun approached an employee leaving for the night and forced the employee back through the rear door of the establishment.
Once inside, the men stunned one of the workers and forced all the employees into a walk-in freezer, according to police.
Despite the violent nature of the robbery, only the stunned employee suffered injuries that police described as minor.
While in the bar, the masked men took an undisclosed amount of cash and stole from the employees as well. They then took the keys to one of the worker’s yellow Mustang convertible before fleeing the scene.
Police later recovered the car along the 300 block of Derry Road in Northeast Philadelphia.
