The store owner said he heard a loud noise while he was helping a customer and the only thing he saw was a man being placed in a car.
"It's astonishing. I never expected something like this to happen...I get along with all my customers. For something like this [to happen] is crazy to me, it is something I never expected," owner Carlos Grullon said.
