employees and took off the handcuffs, one started having a seizure and medics
were called. The story unfolded that an hour earlier, one of the robbers had
been in the store just before closing time looking at phones. The robber
returned with two other people after store-close, pretending to look around,
when they pulled bandanas over their faces. One pulled a gray handgun and
demanded what was inside the cash register, $557.11. One of the robbers, a
woman, told the employees to unplug any security cameras, but they were out of
reach. Another demanded to be taken to the storage room where cellphones were
kept. They unlocked all of the cabinets and put $31,500 worth of phones into a
