PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Police are looking for two men who robbed a Marshalls department store in South Philadelphia of tens of thousands of dollars before the store opened for business this morning.
Detectives say two gunmen forced an employee who was taking trash to a dumpster back into the store. Once in the store, they forced several employees and a shift manager to open a safe, whereupon they removed an estimated $35,000 in cash and fled.
The employees were locked in a break room; no one was injured. The store is in the 2000 block of Swanson Street, near Delaware and Snyder Avenues.
