Po­lice are still search­ing for a group of men who at­tacked three su­per­mar­ket work­ers while they were asleep and es­caped with thou­sands of dol­lars in cash dur­ing a rob­bery in Scar­bor­ough ear­ly Mon­day morn­ing.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice, the in­ci­dent oc­curred around 2 a.m. at Eday Su­per­mar­ket on Wil­son Road in down­town Scar­bor­ough. Own­er Lil­iong Zou re­port­ed that three of his em­ploy­ees — Jin­hai Zheng, 20, Yax­i­an Zheng, 49, and Wen­zhong Chen, 49 — were asleep up­stairs when they were star­tled by loud bang­ing at the su­per­mar­ket’s door.

A short while lat­er, about sev­en men, all armed with knives, en­tered the build­ing through a win­dow on the west­ern side and went in­to the room where the work­ers were.
