Security camera footage from the still-dark hours captures a tense confrontation between a store clerk and a man dressed entirely in black near the store entrance. The video shows the clerk raising his arm while maintaining distance from the suspect, who appears to be holding a knife-like object.
According to police, the man entered the store around 3 a.m. and, without speaking, pointed what looked like a kitchen knife at the male clerk while demanding money. The clerk’s loud shouting startled the suspect, prompting him to flee the scene without taking any cash.
At the time of the incident, the only person inside the store was the male clerk, who was unharmed.
This attempted robbery has raised concerns among nearby residents. One local resident shared, “There aren’t many streetlights in the area, so we’ve installed security cameras ourselves, fearing something like this might happen one day.”
The suspect fled on a motorcycle and remains at large. Police are currently reviewing additional security camera footage and continuing their search for the individual.
