McDonald's employees bound during robbery
LA VERNE - Armed robbers tied up six McDonald's employees early Saturday morning and robbed the popular fast food franchise of an undisclosed amount of cash, officials said.
One of the employees was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries, police Lt. Gary Mason said.
The robbery occurred about 4:15 a.m. at the burger joint, 2269 Foothill Blvd., just as employees were preparing to open the business, Mason said.
Two assailants - described as adult black men in their mid-30s, wearing baggy clothes - entered the store armed with a handgun.
After tying the six employees up with duct tape, the robbers made off with an undisclosed amount of money, officials said.
Officers found the employees after responding to an incomplete 9-1-1 call at the location.
An investigation is ongoing.
