When the owner went up on a ladder, police say one of the suspects violently knocked him off and the owner fell to the ground.
Police say the males then beat the store owner, tied him up and held a knife to his face threatening to kill him if he did not cooperate.
The suspects then pulled out two large duffel bags from a backpack and began filling them with a laptop, the owner's keys, cash, comic books, Pokemon cards, action figures and other merchandise from the store.
According to police, the males emptied the owner's wallet, leaving his credit cards behind.
