VENICE (CBSLA) – Police are searching for two male suspects who robbed a Thai restaurant at gunpoint late Thursday night, sending employees scurrying to safety.

At around 10:30 p.m., the two suspects entered Wirin Thai, located at 238 Lincoln Boulevard.

At least one of the suspects was armed with a handgun, which he brandished at employees, several of whom ran into the back of the restaurant and locked themselves in a bathroom, Los Angeles police said.
