Robbers Hold Up Shop on Antelope Street

Surveillance cameras captured an armed robbery that happened on Antelope Street Extension on Monday evening just before six-thirty. The video footage shows a young woman buying at the shop and two men who appear to be waiting customers standing behind her. Before the customer concluded her purchase, the armed robber pushed his way to the shop’s counter and he is quickly followed by his accomplice. The Hispanic man dressed in a black shirt, black mask pulls out a weapon at service window and demanded money from the shop attendant. A police report says that the thief pushed the black and gold pistol in the attendant’s chest when he ordered her to hand over the proceeds from the day’s sale. The second robber at the counter also pushed in a bag to the shop attendant to hand over the money. In the video, both robbers can be heard demanding money, telling the attendant to (quote) “hurry put in all, all – everything, clear it out.”  (Unquote) Once they got what they wanted, the men walked off.  Police say that the female feared for her life and handed over an undisclosed amount of money and the man with the weapon got on a bike and made good his escape.
