Police are searching for two men who robbed the Bojangles' restaurant on Robert Smalls Parkway on Friday night after forcing the employees into a freezer, according to a Beaufort Police Department news release.

Two masked men armed with handguns accosted an employee emptying trash and forced him into the back door of the business, the release said.
