"We are a small business and we lost work," he said. "I don't work. i don't get paid."
He said two thieves had their faces covered up and went through his area, then made their way to the store.
"They come in and they just start ransacking the lottery tickets," Campos said. "They just come in and start grabbing and taking."

"I don't wish it upon any business," he said.
