JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Two people are sought in connection with the robbery at a Subway on Jacksonville's Westside.
An employee told police that they pressed the silent alarm when two men came into the store, one armed with a handgun demanding money from the cash register.
The men reportedly robbed the store while wearing Halloween masks with fake blood on them. They also wore black hoodies, black pants and black shoes.

The men entered the store on Timuquana Road just before 8:30 p.m. Wednesday. One man went to the register, pointed a gun at the employee and said, "Don't move. Don't budge. Give me everything in there," according to police.
The other man approached customers who were in the store and demanded money, police said.
Once the men received the money, they ran from the store. They made off with hundreds of dollars in cash, multiple purses and a cell phone.
A witness who was outside the store told police that the men ran and then left the area in a white Chevy Impala with black rims, dark tints and no visible tag.
Action News Jax spoke with one of the victims, who says the suspects took her wallet.
“They had guns on us and they told us ‘everybody give up their money and don’t nobody move’ or they’ll shoot us,” said Kimberly Jordan.
Jordan says she later learned one of the victims inside was supposed to sell his iPhone to the suspects. She says they would meet at the restaurant.
“It all was orchestrated off of craigslist,” said Jordan. “And I guess they had an opportunity to rob everybody.”
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is continuing to investigate.
