KENDALL, Fla. ā€“ Miami-Dade police are searching for three armed robbers who held up an AT&T store last month in Kendall.

The robbery was reported at about 8:30 p.m. July 13 at the AT&T at 12190 SW 88th St.

He then took all of their wallets and cellphones, authorities said.

Local 10 News reporter Layron Livingston was told that the man pistol-whipped one of the employees and cocked the gun while holding it against one of the victim's head.Ā
