PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Two armed suspects robbed a McDonald's of over $2,000 in Philadelphia early Sunday morning.

It happened just before 2:30 a.m. on the 6400 block of Torresdale Avenue in the city's Tacony neighborhood.

Police say they responded to the scene for reports of a person with a gun at the McDonald's.

Upon arrival, investigators found employees who said that two offenders armed with guns entered the restaurant through the rear door while an employee was out on break.

The suspects forced the employee to open a door, which required a code to get into the back. Then, the suspects forced a store manager to open a locked safe in the back room, according to police.

Authorities say the two suspects stole roughly $2,500 from the safe before fleeing the scene on foot.

Philadelphia police are still investigating this incident. Anyone with information is asked to call police.
