Two of the men are wearing white button-down shirts and light-colored pants, and another is wearing a black T-shirt and jeans.Based on the surveillance footage, one of the men wearing white appears to have a short mustache and wavy, short-cropped brown hair, while the other, with dark brown hair, has a full beard.
