Police said the men were in and out the store within three minutes.

Sgt. Chuck Mascellino said officers were on the scene within two minutes of being called to the store, but were unable to locate the suspects, despite a search of the area.

 “It was initially reported that the males were in a white 4-door vehicle, but the employees were uncertain which direction the suspects fled,” Mascellino said.

One suspect, who had not covered his face, is described as a black male. The other suspects had their faces covered during the robbery. Moses employees were unable to provide any more information about them, according to police.

Investigators are now gathering video surveillance footage of the incident. Additional information about the robbery may be released as soon as it is available, police said.

Anyone who is able to provide a better description of the vehicle or suspects is asked to call Cranberry Police at 724-776-5180, ext. 5.

As of Tuesday, a handwritten note on the door of Moses Jewelers said the store is closed. An employee inside the store declined to comment.
