Police were called to the Wendy's at 907 Knox Road at about 2:41 a.m. after an employee called 911 to report that the business had been robbed.

Witnesses told police that a man and a woman approached an employee who was outside of the business on break. One of the suspects allegedly pointed a handgun at the employee and both escorted her back in the building.

Once inside, the two directed other employees to different areas within the business, and demanded money from several cash registers, according to police.
