A female employee of Lewiston’s Kentucky Fried Chicken was the victim of an armed robbery Wednesday evening.

The victim told police she was leaving the KFC on 21st Street at about 10 p.m. when two men in a pickup drove into the store’s parking lot.  One of the men was armed with a knife, and the victim was ordered to surrender her purse.

The driver of the truck was described as a white male, wearing a dark blue t-shirt, blue jeans and white tennis shoes - the passenger was also a white male, about 5-foot-6 and heavy set, wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans and dark shoes.  Both men were wearing black full-face ski masks.  The truck was described as a late model Dodge diesel four-door extended cab, dark green with a chrome strip along the side.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Lewiston Police Department at 746-0171.
