No one was hurt but Trevens said the man terrorized his employees.

He made the girls lie on the ground and he left the store, said Trevens.

The owner said the suspect is six feet, 2 inches tall and about 30-years-old. He said he wants the man caught for his employees peace of mind.

Theyre very shook up, when I got there they were all crying, said Trevens.

There was no comment from police Friday night but they did say there was a very active investigation.
