Both suspects, who were wearing dark clothing and had their hoods up in an attempt to hide their identities, had wire-cutters and threatened to harm employees if they tried to intervene, the sergeant said.

No one was injured.

The robbers took eight to 10 cell phones and tablets and took off from the business, 4007 Far Hills Ave., in a silver Toyota SUV, he said.

Sgt. DiSalvo noted that because robbers like to repeatedly hit cell phone stores at one time, police in Kettering and area jurisdictions will be paying attention to area cell phone stores.
