The heist took place just after 5 p.m. at a business in the 700 block of East 6th Street, the Beaumont Police Department said in a written statement.

A man armed with a shotgun entered the store and demanded money from the cash register, police said.

Police described him as a Latino man in his 30s, with a goatee and mustache, wearing a green hooded jacket, a black beanie, black pants and white shoes.

He fled in a red 1990s-model Nissan Hardbody pickup truck. A getaway driver described as a middle-aged Latino man with a bald head waited in the truck during the robbery.
