One robber was described as having shoulder-length dreadlocks and was said to be wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt with white lettering and gray sweatpants, while a second suspect was described as having short hair and was said to be wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt with gray sweatpants, police said. Both men were armed with black semi-automatic handguns.

A third robber was said to be wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt with sweatpants, while the fourth suspect was said to be wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black sweatpants, police said.
