Police said a blue Ford Focus pulled into the parking lot where two men exited the rear passenger door and walked up to two people sitting outside the store. One suspect, armed with an assault rifle, and the second suspect, armed with a handgun, reportedly demanded the victim’s money and car keys. The suspect holding the rifle snatched the victim’s money, which was reportedly $2, while the second suspect attempted to steal the victim’s Ford Mustang but was unable to find the keys.
