MIRAMAR, Fla. – Police are searching for two men who they said robbed a Family Dollar store Thursday in Miramar.
The robbery was captured on surveillance video about 12:15 p.m. at the Family Dollar, 6830 Miramar Parkway.
Police said the robbers, who were both wearing hooded sweatshirts, were armed.
“I saw two guys with hoodies coming in and I’m like, ‘This is strange. Why do they have on hoodies?’” an employee told Local 10 News.
She said the robbers were posing as customers.
“The guy was like, ‘I’m buying a chocolate,’ so I walked around so that he could pay for the chocolate,” she said.
That’s when the man jumped the counter and pointed a gun at her. The terrified clerk said she feared for her life.
She said the gunmen made customers and employees in the store get on the ground.
The other crook hopped the counter and stole cigarettes while the clerk opened the cash register.
