"They said, 'Which one of you is going to help get the money out?' and I told him, 'I'll help so they won't hurt nobody else," said Freddy Pandy. "As soon as I put it inside the buggy, they ran."
Pandy said one man had a handgun and the other man had a shotgun. He said the robbers' faces were covered and that police arrived just after the armed men left.
"They said they ain't gonna hurt us, they just want the money," Pandy said.
