The woman then leaves the store and gets back into the SUV. At that time, police say a man got out of the driver's seat of the SUV and walking into the store and up to the front counter to ask for a pack of cigarettes.

When the employee handed the man the cigarettes, the man pulled a knife and ordered the employee to "give me the money."
