With the employees unable to resist, the thieves took their time selecting the merchandise they wanted to steal, making several trips in and out of the store to carry the stolen items to a get-away vehicle parked behind the business, El Sol reported.

According to a police report, the thieves had enough time to break into a Banco Santander automatic teller machine and remove an undetermined amount of cash.

The suspects remained at large and specific details of the amount of the loss remained unavailable more than a day after the robbery.
