SALISBURY — Salisbury police are investigating an early-morning armed robbery at a local arcade business, officials  said.

Police said two black men walked into The Fish Hut Arcade, 2164 Statesville Blvd., armed with a gun. One of the men put the gun against the back of an employee’s head. The employee was not injured, said police Lt. Greg Beam.

The men forced their way into the business about 1 a.m. and stole a money bag from an office. There were customers inside the business at the time of the robbery.

The business operates games of skill.
