The three suspects then ordered the employee to take them to the safe in the back of the store where they filled backpacks with 31 cell phones and four tablets. The total value of the items stolen was estimated at $14,500. 

The three men then fled through the rear of the store but it is unknown which direction they went according to Martin or whether they left on foot or by car.
