Video surveillance showed a man who was seen wearing a red Chicago Bulls cap, sunglasses, black pants and a black long-sleeved shirt casually walking around the store.
Later, two men -- who police said were armed -- stopped by the outside of the store and peeked at the inside as the suspect asked questions about the glasses to an employee. At some point, the two men walked inside, and the suspect pulled out a gun and began demanding money from the cash register.
One of the employees complied with the suspects while other employees, not seen in the video, were forced to the ground, according to police.
Then, the suspects grabbed several pairs of glasses and stashed them in a black plastic bag.
All three suspects fled the store from the back emergency exit door and drove off in a black-colored four-door Lexus sedan.
