The victim reported four adult Hispanic females approached the front doors of the business but only two entered the store. The two who entered the store distracted the clerk and one of them took cash which was unsecured near the front counter. These two females then left the business, joined the other two females who had stayed outside and all four walked to a vehicle waiting nearby and left the scene. The vehicle was last seen driving away northbound on Creston Road.
