STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. (FOX 2) - Police are looking for two suspects after an armed robbery at an AT&T store in Sterling Heights New Year's Eve. Multiple employees were tied up in the back area of the store. 

The robbery happened around 3 p.m. at the store on Van Dyke, just north of 15 Mile Road. 

Policemen are seen through the storefront window of the AT&T shop in Sterling Heights.

Police say one of the employees was able to get loose from the restraint and call 911. The two suspects had already driven off in a white Pontiac Grand Prix by the time police got there. 

Police say the suspects are a man and a woman, but both had their faces covered. They were wearing all black clothes and the man had a trench coat and a semi-automatic rifle. 

Police didn't say if the suspects got away with anything.
