“(They) directed the lone customer to lie on the floor and then they approached the counter and directed the employee behind the counter to fill a garbage bag with cigarettes and an undisclosed amount of money,” reads a Sunday morning statement from police.
No one was injured in the course of the holdup.
According to police, the suspects fled west on foot, and while a police service dog couldn’t track them down, it did find evidence related to the incident.
