WILLOUGHBY, Ohio -- Surveillance video shows two armed robbers taking cash from a Papa John's late Thursday in Willoughby.
No one was harmed during the incident at the pizza shop on Euclid Avenue at Ohio 91, police said.
Willoughby police on Friday released two surveillance videos of the robbery. The videos have been included in this post.
The pair wore masks and all black clothes during the incident. A Papa John's employee told a 911 dispatcher that the robbers were approximately 13 to 15 years old, police said.
Surveillance video shows the pair entering the pizza shop just before 11 p.m. One robber walks to the back of the shop while the second points a gun at an employee who had been kneeling behind the front counter, the video shows.
The employee keeps his hands raised as the robber joins his accomplice in the back of the shop. The robbers pointed guns at two more workers as they stole two cash registers drawers containing an unknown amount of money, police said.
The video shows the robbers run out the front door. The employee who had been kneeling behind the front counter pulls out his own gun, but does not follow the robbers, the video shows.
Willoughby police officers searched the area but could not find the robbers.
Detectives are investigating whether the pair committed another robbery a short time earlier at a Papa John's on Fulton Road near Memphis Avenue in Cleveland, police said.
In the Cleveland incident, two men entered the pizza shop about 9:15 p.m. and pointed a gun at an employee. The pair forced an employee to open a cash register, then took $53 in cash, according to a police report.
A Papa John's employee threw pizza dough at the robbers as they ran out of the store, the report says.
Surveillance video from the Cleveland incident shows the robbers leave in a silver or light blue four-door car, possibly a Honda or a Hyundai, with front-end damage and a temporary tag, the report says.
Anyone with information about the Willoughby robbery is being asked to call Detective Greg Knack at 440-953-4210.
