Columbia Police are investigating the third armed robbery in less than a week.

At 12:40 a.m. Wednesday, police were dispatched to a robbery at Jimmy John’s Restaurant on Corporate Lake Drive.

Employees said two males entered the restaurant wearing masks and gloves, and carrying a gun.

The suspects demanded money from the employees. The suspects took an undisclosed amount of cash and fled on foot. There were no injuries during the robbery.
