Robbers Tie Up Employees, Customers at Burger Joint

Delaware State Police are searching for two armed men who robbed Jake's Hamburgers on Kirkwood Highway

It was just before 9:00 p.m. Wednesday night, when two men, armed with handguns, came storming into Jake's Hamburgers on Kirkwood Highway in Elsmere, Del.

Delaware State Police say one man came through the front door and vaulted the counter, while the second man rushed in through the back door.

Two employees and two customers were forced to lie on the ground, according to police, who say another employee was forced to open up the register and hand over the cash inside.

After grabbing the money, the men forced the workers and customers to lie on the ground and tied their hands behind their backs with zip ties.
