According to the report, the man walked in and began texting on his phone before spending several moments standing by the front door and looking out the windows before exiting.
Immediately after he left the store, a different man, wearing a black-and-grey North Face jacket, blue jeans and a black ski-mask, walked in while hiding a semiautomatic handgun behind his leg. The man walked up to the counter, drew his gun and threw a black bag onto the counter, advising the manager to "fill it up".
The manager quickly handed over $520 in cash from the register to the gunman, who, according to police, was surprised by a customer entering the store, prompting the gunman to flee the shop. He was last seen running towards Rousseau Street, police said.
