Authorities are looking for three men who were involved at a robbery of a fast-food restaurant in Forestdale.

A spokesman for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said that two black men wearing masks robbed the KFC in the 1200 block of Forestdale Blvd. (U.S. 78) on Sunday night at about 8:30.

One suspect held store employees at gunpoint, while the other took money from the cash registers and the store safe. They then left the store and sped away in a mid-sized white car driven by a third man.

The car went south on Forestdale Blvd. A be-on-the-lookout bulletin was broadcast, but the car was not found.

No customers were in the store at the time, and no employees were injured.

If you have any information about this robbery, call the sheriff’s office at 325-1450 or Crimestoppers at 254-7777.
