PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY, Va. -- Investigators are looking for three men who robbed the US Gas Convenience Store on South Crater Road, off I-95, in Prince George early Monday morning.

"[It seemed like a] planned, executed event," Prince George Police Officer Alexis Grochal said. "Two suspects had weapons, one displayed a long rifle type weapon, which is very alarming and very concerning to us."

Video obtained by CBS 6 showed a white Ford SUV pull up to the front of the store.

"Three black males entered the business with two of them brandishing firearms. The weapons used were a handgun and a rifle," a Prince George Police spokesman said. "While the suspect with the rifle stood as a lookout, two of the other suspects went behind the counter and retrieved money from the register. The suspects fled the scene in the SUV in an unknown direction of travel."

The crime was reported at 3:40 a.m. Monday.

Anyone with information was asked to call Prince George Police at 804-733-2773 or Crime Solvers at 804-733-2777.
