Bossier City Police responded at approximately 8 a.m. today to a reported armed robbery at the Applebee's Restaurant in the 2100 block of Airline Drive.

The manager tells police that he was inside the restaurant preparing to open for the day when he answered the buzzer at the back door where deliveries are made. When he opened the door he was contacted by two suspects, one of whom was armed with a handgun. The suspects entered and demanded money from the manager. The manager complied and the suspects got away with an undisclosed amount of money from the office after fleeing out the back door and running away on foot. The manager was not injured by the suspects.

Bossier City police searched the area around the restaurant for the suspect but were unable to locate them. The suspects are described as black males. Both were wearing black clothing and had their faces covered.
