Two masked gunmen entered Mar Mkhayel’s Lock Stock pub at approximately 4am Friday where they robbed customers under the threat of violence.
The same men also robbed another facility at gunpoint, identified as Rizkallah Restaurant in Sid el-Baouchrieh, before escaping in a silver Kia Cerato.
According to reports, the getaway Kia was later exchanged for a black Mercedes parked near the said restaurant, the state-run National News Agency said.
The Internal Security Forces and forensic experts from the judicial police rushed to both locations and proceeded to question witnesses, the agency added.
Police lifted fingerprints off the Kia in a bid to identify the perpetrators, of the crime.
