The employees were able to lock the group out of the restaurant and call police. The suspects fled before police arrived.

There were no injuries in the incident, police told KHOU-TV.

The chicken sandwiches became available at select Popeyes stores on Aug. 12 and became wildly popular, leading Popeyes to announce Aug. 27 that all stores were sold out of the sensational product. Popeyes assured customers the sandwich would be back on the menu soon, but the news still hasn't sat well with many would-be customers -- including a Tennessee man filed a lawsuit against Popeyes for running out of the sandwiches.
