On Feb. 14, five suspects filled up their car at a gas station before entering the gas station wearing balaclavas.

Armed with a gun and a knife, the group forced a lone employee, a 64-year-old man, to the ground and used laces to tie him up behind the cash register.

They then grabbed cash, cigarettes and lottery tickets before taking off in a light silver four-door Pontiac sedan.
