LANSING – Police are searching for three people in connection to an armed robbery Thursday night outside a bar in the 1500 block of South Cedar Street.

Four bar patrons said the suspects demanded money at gunpoint around 10 p.m. at LeRoy's Classic Bar, Lansing police Public Information Officer Robert Merritt said.

Each of the three suspects are in their 20s and were wearing hoodies at the time of the robbery, Merritt said. The patrons said they were outside smoking when they were approached by the suspects. They said the two males demanded cash at gunpoint.

The victims gave what money they had, and the suspects fled on foot, Merritt said. He said the suspects may own a gray Dodge Charger with tinted windows.

Anyone with information can call 483-4600.
