The two men entered the restaurant a short time later, stealing money from cash registers and using a cart to remove a safe from the business, police said.
They left the area with an undisclosed amount of cash about 4:50 a.m. They were traveling in an unknown direction on Main Street in a late-model conversion van, possibly a Dodge, police said.
Police described the suspects as white, with one being stocky and 30 to 40 years old and the other thin and about 20 years old. The older suspect appears to have a tattoo on the back of his neck.
Philadelphia Police Department asks that anyone with information about this crime or these suspects contact the Northwest Detective Division at 215-686-3353 or 215-686-3354.
