Officials are on the look out for three men involved in an armed robbery at Dee's Gift Shop yesterday afternoon.

The suspects are described as a heavy set Hispanic male, a black male in his late to early thirtys, and a third male who was covered by a mask.

Officials say the Hispanic male rang the door bell, but when a customer opened the door, the black male entered instead. He then pushed the female customer down, pointed a gun to her head and demanded money. He also took a ring from the customers finger.

The employee realized Dee's Gift Shop was being robbed, and handed a money bag from the desk to the armed suspect.

All suspects then split into a silver passenger car, and a silver mini-van which was driven by a fourth person. Both vehicles drove east on South East 27th.

No arrests have been made in the case yet, and there were no reported injuries.
