Investigators said they walked into a store located at 9081 SW 40th Street. Jamie Pendegrass, 26, and Sandra Serrano, 31, were inside at around 2 p.m.

One of the armed men jumped the counter and demanded that Pendegrass open the safe as he allegedly "treated her with an electronic control device," police said.
