A robbery team hit a Sunrise fast food restaurant.

Store employees told police two armed robbers walked into the Taco Bell at 2451 N. University Dr. about 9:15 a.m. Sept. 21.

They said one walked into the kitchen and threatened an an employee who was prepping cheese.

''Get down or I'll shoot you and don't look up,'' the robber reportedly told the cook.

The cook said he followed instructions and the robber walked into the break room and forced another employee to lie down next to the cook.

The second robber walked into the office and confronted the manager.

''Open the safe or I'll kill you,'' he said as he placed a gun against the side of her waist.

She said she opened the safe and took out $135, all the money that was in it.

The robber grabbed it from her hand and both men ran through the kitchen and out of the business.

One of the employees got up in time to see the robbers drive away in a late-model green Honda Civic with dark-tinted windows.
