Robbers Hold Tulsa Restaurant Workers At Gunpoint

Tulsa Police say an attempted armed robbery in east Tulsa may be linked to other robberies last week. Two men tried to get into a safe at the El 7 Marez Restaurant at 21st and Garnett overnight Saturday.

Employees were taking out the trash just after 1 a.m. when they were approached by two men with guns, according to Tulsa police. It's believed at least one of the men was wearing a mask.

Police say the robbers forced their way inside the restaurant but were unable to open the safe. They left in a small, dark-colored car going northbound on Garnett. No one was hurt, according to police.

Officers told News On 6 the men may be responsible for similar robberies last week.
