Lehigh Township police are searching for five men they say robbed a tobacco shop at gunpoint Wednesday morning.

The group, around 1:15 a.m., entered Cherryville Vape and Cigar, 4209 Lehigh Dr., and three of the men showed handguns, Lehigh Township Police Officer in Charge and Detective John J. Henry III said.

The suspects took cash and merchandise before fleeing. Police have not specified the monetary amount stolen.

No one was hurt, Henry told lehighvalleylive.com.

Law enforcement from Bushkill Township, Moore Township, Northampton Borough, the Slate Belt, and Walnutport , along with state police troopers, are assisting in the ongoing investigation.
