South Carolina deputies are looking for a masked man who robbed a Burger King near Carowinds Thursday morning.

The crime happened before 6:30 a.m. at the store located on U.S. 21, according to Trent Faris, spokesman for the York County Sheriff’s Office.

The restaurant is located in Fort Mill just south of Interstate 77 Exit 90 along a commercial stretch of the highway near the North Carolina state line.

The male robber, wearing all black and a ski mask, was armed when he told an employee to give him the keys and open the business safe, a statement from the sheriff’s office said. The man fled with around $200, deputies said. No one was hurt.

Officials have not released the type of weapon or whether the robbery was caught on surveillance video.

No arrests have been made.
