In charges filed Tuesday, investigators wrote that the two men received information about Wal-Mart's security procedures from the 34-year-old guard and planned the robbery weeks in advance.
The two men followed two female employees into a cash-processing office and threatened them with a sawed-off shotgun, detectives wrote. They allegedly took the women's phones and walkie-talkies and ripped a phone cord out of the wall. The men also tried to break into an adjacent office, but an employee inside locked the door, investigators wrote. The two men then fled.
The men, 21 and 19, were charged with three counts of aggravated robbery, a first-degree felony. A 20-year-old suspected of acting as a look-out was charged with one count of aggravated robbery, as was the security guard.
