TAMPA — Hillsborough County deputies are searching for two men suspected of robbing a Waffle House with a rifle in Tampa early Thursday morning.

Deputies say the men entered the Waffle House at 6502 U.S. 301 N around 3:07 a.m. with what appeared to be a long rifle.

Three employees were in the restaurant at the time, deputies said. The men took money from the restaurant's cash register and may have fled in a vehicle.

No injuries were reported. The restaurant reopened a few hours later, deputies said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at (813)-247-8200.
