The first robber was described as a White male, about 6-foot-4 and 140 pounds, with slender build and dark hair. He was armed with a silver handgun and wore a blue hoodie with white strings, distressed blue jeans, black tennis shoes, a black mask and a white hat with an Under Armour logo.

The second robber was described as a Black male, about 5-foot-6 and 170 pounds, with medium build. He was armed with a rifle while wearing white tennis shoes, light-colored pants, a black hoodie and a white face mask.
