I was a hostage of a two person cash register robbery at a Target once, very traumatizing.
I'm sorry, did the police arrive?
The NCR specialist came to check how much was taken and to see if the hardware was damaged but the cops didn't come until the thieves had taken off.
were they armed with guns?
They did, their armored cruiser blew a hole in the ceiling and they rappelled a rope and escaped.
that sounds like a lot of work to rob a target
It was a 3 floored target, so maybe that's why. Nothings more stange than being held at gunpoint while This Is What the Truth Feels Like by Gwen Stifani plays in the background.
