TULSA - Tulsa police area searching for suspects after a brazen robbery at a Dollar General store in west Tulsa.
Investigators say employees were locking up the store on West 51st Street just after 10 p.m. Sunday when two men wearing ski masks smashed in the front door with a cinder block.
Police say the suspects entered the store and forced the employees to the floor at gunpoint while the suspects took money from the safe.
No one was injured.
