Police are looking for three robbers who held up a Seattle grocery with a shotgun and hit one of the employees to get into the safe.

Police say three black males dressed in dark clothing entered the Grocery Outlet store in the 13200 Block of Aurora Avenue North just before 7 a.m. Friday morning.

The store had reportedly not opened for business but employees were in the store preparing for the day.

They forced employees into an office and forced them to open a safe. One employee was struck in the face.

The robbers fled to a waiting car.

Robbery detectives processed the scene. Police say it is an active ongoing investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to call (206) 684-5535.
