A father and son are in jail after a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant was robbed at gunpoint in Hopewell, police said.

Around 8 p.m. Wednesday, three men entered the KFC restaurant at 3011 Oaklawn Blvd., brandished guns and demanded cash from employees. The men left with an undisclosed amount of money, police said.

No one was hurt, police said.

Two of the men were captured a short time later after a brief police pursuit that ended near the intersection of South Sixth Avenue and Elm Street, police said.

Lawrence Irving, 56, of Petersburg, was immediately taken into custody while two other suspects jumped out of the vehicle and ran away. One of them — Lawrence Tucker, age 32, of Petersburg — was quickly captured.

The other suspect remains at large, police said.

Irving and Tucker are charged with robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery and six counts of abduction. Irving also is charged with using a firearm while committing a felony, eluding police, resisting arrest and several traffic violations.
