Two people, including one armed with a camouflage shotgun, robbed a Little Rock convenience store late Saturday, police say.
A 33-year-old worker said the pair entered the Exxon at 8601 Fourche Dam Pike around 11:50 p.m. as he was counting cigarettes, according to a Little Rock Police Department report.
That employee, after being ordered to remove money from the store’s safe, then ran to the back of the building and locked himself inside a room, he told authorities.
A second worker, a 44-year-old woman, also reported seeing the robbers enter. After hearing one “cock the shotgun,” she ran to a corner for safety, the employee told police.
Authorities said both robbers jumped a counter and walked to the back of the Exxon, where they found the woman and took her cellphone. The robbers then fled the scene in an unknown direction.
No money was listed as stolen from the safe or cash register.
Police had not made any arrests at the time of the report. Detailed descriptions of the robbers were not available.
