JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – An internet cafe on the Westside was robbed early Friday morning by two gunmen.
The armed robbery happened about 4:30 a.m. at the Wilson Arcade on Wilson Boulevard, off of Blanding Boulevard.
According to a Jacksonville Sheriff's Office report, two men wearing masks took cellphones from two employees, ordered one of those employees to open the cash register and the game machines, and took money from them.
They also ordered a man playing one of the machines to throw his phone in the trash before they took off, the police report shows.
No injuries were reported, but the armed robbery was alarming for people who live and work nearby. They said these types of businesses are targets for crime.
"This is getting too crazy in Jacksonville. I moved 10 years ago and it wasn't like this. That's one of the reasons why I moved to Jacksonville -- big city, good jobs, good people around," said Eddie Rodriguez, who lives near the internet cafe. "But this is going out of control."

Friday's robbery was the second time this week Jacksonville police were called to a game room. On Wednesday night, according to the Sheriff's Office, a customer was shot and killed while trying to stop a robbery at the Dream Arcade on Edgewood Avenue North in the Biltmore neighborhood.
The mayor's office said it is reviewing News4Jax's request about whether the city has a plan for these types of businesses.
