The suspects were described as two male Hispanics, both armed with unknown type caliber handguns. The suspects entered the business and ordered the employees to empty the cash register and lay down on the floor. While the robbery was in progress, a customer entered the store and was also ordered to lay on the floor, at which time he was robbed.
