Police are searching for at least three men who broke into Smokin’ Jack’s Rib Shack on Monday, ordered the restaurant employees into an office at gunpoint and robbed cash from the safe.

The group of three black men were wearing masks, hoods and dark clothing as they entered the restaurant through the back door shortly before 10 p.m. Friday. Three employees were in the process of preparing to close the store, said Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams.

At least one of the men had a handgun, Kellams said.

The men forced the three employees to go into an office and demanded money from the business’ safe. They then fled the store with the cash before employees called BPD.

Officials immediately responded and continue to investigate the robbery,
