Two masked gunmen robbed at dawn Friday revelers and employees at a pub and a restaurant near Beirut, the state-run National News Agency reported.

NNA said the armed men entered Lock Stock pub in the area of Mar Mikhael at around 4:00 am, robbed the customers after threatening them and escaped in a silver Kia Cerato.

Less than 40 minutes after their robbery, the same men grabbed the cash of the employees of Rizkallah restaurant in Sid el-Baouchrieh and emptied the restaurant's cash register after threatening to kill them.
