The robbery happened shortly after 5 a.m. Wednesday in the 2500 block of SE Military Drive.

The clerk was not hurt but was shaken up, according to officers.

The robbers were last seen running out through the store’s back door.

Police provided only a vague description of the men, and they did not provide any information on a vehicle, if one was involved.

They spent some time reviewing surveillance video at the scene, then flying over the area in their helicopter.

However, as of late Wednesday morning, they had not made any arrests.
