According to the BSO, two of the suspects entered the restaurant through a back door just before midnight holding guns and wearing masks.

Surveillance video released by the BSO shows the pair enter the restaurant and encounter a male employee. One suspect hold the employee at gunpoint while the other gathers the rest of the employees and forces them into a restroom.

The pair made a female employee open a register and then fled the store with cash and sped away in a 2010 Honda Insight that belonged to one of the restaurant's managers, police said.

Police later recovered the Honda in Davie.

Both Olivares-Rosaria and Corrales were being held without bond Thursday. It was unknown whether they have attorneys. The teen was taken into custody and brought to Broward's juvenile assessment center, BSO officials said.
