The crime occurred in late June at an undisclosed restaurant on Julian R. Allsbrook Highway, which police declined to disclose today.
The men, according to a statement by Investigator Chris Babb, entered the restaurant and reportedly scammed the clerk out of an undisclosed amount of money by conducting multiple cash exchanges in rapid succession. It is a form larceny by use of trickery, typically known as shortchanging.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the police department at 252-533-2810; Babb at 252-533-2823 or Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.
