At least four people were present when two armed men burst into an Internet sweepstakes establishment Saturday and robbed the business.

The robbery took place at the Longhorn's Business Center at 1716 U.S. Highway 117 S., at 8:20 p.m.

It took less than seven minutes for the robbery to unfold.

According to a Goldsboro police report, the two suspects wore full masks and carried handguns.

The incident was caught on the business's surveillance video. Two men entered, demanded money from the patrons and from an employee and then left on foot headed in an unknown direction.

Among the items taken were an unknown amount of money from the business, $20 from the customers, a $5 black wallet and a N.C. driver's license.

The only description of the suspects listed on the report is that they are of medium build.

The Goldsboro Police Department, via email, confirmed the robbery took place, but stated it had nothing further to add at this time.
