The men took off with a small amount of cash earlier this week, according to authorities.

FRANKFORT, IL — No one was hurt in an armed robbery early Monday at a gas station along Harlem Avenue, according to the Will County Sheriff's Office.

An employee at the Speedway at 19730 S. Harlem Ave., told investigators that two men walked into the store just before 1:30 a.m. Monday, Nov. 26. The men immediately approached the employee behind the counter, and one of the men said, "Give me all you got."

The employee took a small amount of money from the register and gave it to the men, according to the sheriff's office. At the time, he saw one of the men standing near the counter with a semi-automatic handgun, and he thought the other individual might have had a gun in his sweatshirt pocket, the sheriff's office said.
