BROWNSVILLE — Cops are looking for three men who allegedly robbed a Crown Fried Chicken at gunpoint.

At 11:20 p.m. on Oct. 3, two men entered the 1719 Pitkin Ave. restaurant, while another man stood watch at the front door, police said. A man brandished a black and silver firearm, demanding money from the clerk, police said.

The employee agreed and nobody was hurt.
