SPOKANE -- Spokane Police are looking for two or three men they say tied up an employee at a North Spokane Burger King, then robbed the restaurant.

Police say an employee was taking out the trash when the suspects approached him and tied him up with duct tape around 11:45 p.m. Wednesday. This was at the Burger King on Division & Nora.

They say those suspects, who were reportedly armed with a gun and knife, then went inside the restaurant, which had two other employees inside. One of those employees was hurt in some kind of fight. That person was taken to the hospital for treatment of what we're told are minor injuries.

Police say the suspects got away with an undisclosed amount of cash. Officers say they are still unsure due to multiple witness reports whether there were 2 or 3 suspects.

Officers called in a K-9 unit to help track them, but we're unsuccessful. We're told there's not a good description of the suspects to pass along to viewers because they covered their faces with masks.

Still, if you have any information that could help police in their investigation, call Crime Check. (509)456-2233.

Times are tough and money for drugs, ect. is getting hard to come by. I would suggest either do not risk you life working anywhere where you are not allowed to be armed for self defense. These scumbags need to learn that people are just not going to take it even if the police dept. has to arrange a pickup schedule around town to collect the bodies of would be killers and robbers. Enough is enough dammit! What is your kids life worth anyway?

Great job reporting, KREM: they are just lucky that I got my burger before they robbed the place! I go there every time I come into this town! Can someone please explain to me why it is worth the risk to rob a place for less than ten mill today! I mean, on a mill', after you buy a house you have nothing left and if that is not the first thing you do, you had better see a doctor! The time you get when you get caught is just not worth it! And they all get caught!!!!!!
