Two armed robbers stole candy from a Little Rock grocery store Monday night, an employee told police.
Officers went to Supermercado Sin Fronteras at 4918 Baseline Road shortly before 11 p.m., according to the police report. The 22-year-old cashier stated that a male and a female entered and walked up to her cash register.
The employee told police the female robber pointed a shotgun at her face and said "Give me the money or I will shoot you!" in Spanish. She said she could not open the cash drawer, so the male assailant, who had a black pistol, told his accomplice to "just grab everything she could," the report stated.
Authorities said the pair took several bags of candy, then ran toward the trailer park across the parking lot. The female robber was described as white, standing 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 130 pounds. The male, also white, was listed as standing 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 170 pounds.
