Police were called to the scene at 9:50 a.m., Hansen said, and performed a search in the surrounding area in an attempt to locate the men. Hansen said the men were described as Hispanic, one about 5'9" with a light to medium complexion and a thin build. The other was 5'7" with a darker complexion and a heavy build, Hansen said. Both were estimated to be between 20 and 25 years old. Hansen added that both men had short, spiked hair.
