Newport News Police are looking for several men involved in a commercial robbery that occurred at Newport News Computer Services Cyber Cafe in the 600 block of Stoney Creek Lane in the early morning hours of Saturday, July 26th.

Police say the manager and another employee told them they were leaving the business and had entered their cars in the rear parking lot when they were approached by three men armed with guns and wearing masks.

The men forced the manager and employee back inside the business and demanded money.
