ORANGE, Texas — The Orange County Sheriff's Office is looking for two men who allegedly robbed a convenience store in the Little Cypress-Mauriceville area.
The robbery happened at 7:22 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 8 at M&S Grocery, in the 1000 block of FM 1130.
The clerk told police two white men with black handguns came into the store and demanded money, Orange County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Janois Grizzaffi said in a release. The men also took several packs of cigarettes and the store's cordless phone and the clerk's Samsung cellphone as well as the money.
The men headed toward Meadowlark Street as they ran away, Grizaffi said. The clerk told police he heard the sound of a car but didn't see what car they might have been driving.
Both men are short, but one is slender and one is a larger built. They were wearing black long-sleeved shirts and masks, the clerk told police. One had a black mask and the other had a tan army-colored mask.
Investigators with the Orange County Sheriff's office are working to find video footage of the robbery.
