You can hear that fear in this newly released 911 call McCreery's friend made Monday.
"Yeah, we got robbed. They were just like, get down everybody on the floor, give us everything you've got. I think they were pretty much face down on the floor, guns to the back of their heads." (Via WTVD)
And neighbors told WRAL they heard the terrifying robbery as it was happening.
"Then we heard like screaming and like saying, 'You need to get out of here, you need to leave right now, you don't belong here.'"
"I heard counting, like they were yelling, 'one, two, three.'" (Via WRAL)
Investigators say they are now working on putting together descriptions of the three suspects so they can track them down. Police are asking anyone with information on the robbery to call them immediately.
