Police in Port Elizabeth are looking for three men who robbed a Pep outlet on Monday.

They were all ushered to the back office by one of the suspects and tied up with shoelaces.

Naidu says one suspect went into the manager's office and demanded that she open the safe.

The suspects' loaded cellphones into large bags and emptied the till.
