The suspect ordered the employees into a freezer after taking an undisclosed amount of money.
According to a statement released by police, no was one hurt during the robbery and the employees were told to stay inside the freezer for 30 minutes.
Police describe the suspect as possibly being Hispanic with a medium build. Police say he is about 5-feet-6-inches tall.
Coincidentally, a similar armed robbery took place at a Fremont McDonalds over the weekend. In that case, three robbers also forced the employees into a freezer, but police tracked the culprits down and arrested them.
