Masked gunmen rob Fayetteville Verizon store

Fayetteville police are looking for the two armed men who robbed a cell phone store Thursday morning.

According to Fayetteville police Capt. Steve Crawshaw, two males wearing dark clothes and masks robbed the Verizon Wireless store on Promenade Parkway shortly after 9 a.m.

"The men displayed pistols and demanded phones," Crawshaw said.

He said the men took an undetermined number of cell phones and were last seen getting into a white Kia or Hyundai with a red "drive-out" tag.

There were no customers inside the store at the time, and no one was injured.
