A cell phone store in Harvard was robbed Monday evening and police are searching for two suspects, officials said.

The Harvard Police Department responded around 5:18 p.m. Monday to the Boost Mobile, 59 North Ayer Street in Harvard, for a report of a theft that had just occurred.

Harvard Deputy Police Chief Tyson Bauman said that two suspects entered the store and asked about cell phones.

One of the suspects followed an employee into the back and told them to “cooperate” while the other suspect remained in the lobby area.

Bauman said the suspect ordered the employee to place several cell phones into a bag and both subjects then left on foot in an unknown direction.
