Yes, but it's bad writing. Be compact, say:
While / As the security guard took his lunch break, two tall masked men [NO COMMA] entered the shop.
While / As the security guard took his lunch break, two tall masked men [NO COMMA] entered the shop.

I'd also recommend a change of tense:
While / As the security guard was taking his lunch break, two tall masked men entered the shop.
While / As the security guard was taking his lunch break, two tall masked men entered the shop.
