A safe was removed and brought to the door. A third individual appeared and helped remove the safe from the store.

The second suspect is described as a male with a shorter stalky build than average, wearing a light grey or blue coat with blue jeans and white running shoes (skateboarder shoes- possibly DC or Vans. Black symbol on the outer side). This suspect also wore a ball cap, a light blue physician mask and gloves.
The third suspect wore a dark coat with a fur hood and black face mask.
