& Orlando police are searching for three men who robbed a local Taco Bell at gunpoint.&

The robbery at the Hiawassee Taco Bell was caught on surveillance video and shows the trio forcing the restaurant employees into the back room.

"One of them had a long gun that looked to be some kind of rifle. [They] approached them and made them back in the store. [The men] held a gun to the manager's head while he opened the safe," said Orlando police Sgt. Vince Ogburn.

Two of the robbers were masked, but one was not, and Orlando police are asking the public to help it identify the trio.
