Three black males entered the business around 11:25 a.m., said Lt. Kevin Kirkum, Lake Charles Police Department spokesman. One inquired about a loan. When the clerk asked him for the proper documentation, two of the three pulled out weapons. The suspect who had inquired about the loan then demanded money. They took money from the cash register then fled in a gray four-door sedan, driven by a fourth male. The vehicle had chrome trim around the back side windows.

While police were investigating, one of the suspects called the business from a cell phone that was stolen from a patron during the robbery. The suspect told an officer who answered the phone that he was watching the officers and threatened to harm them.
