Police said the van parked directly in front of a Sunoco gas station before Isley forced entry into the business and entered the store. Davis acted as a lookout before also entering the store, police said.
Once inside, authorities said Davis removed a cash register drawer and a container holding lottery tickets and carried them toward the stolen van. Meanwhile, police said Isley entered the office area with a large bag, filling it with several items.
