Security camera footage from the early morning hours captures a tense confrontation between a store clerk and a man dressed entirely in black near the entrance of the store. The video shows the clerk raising his arm while keeping a safe distance from the suspect, who appears to be holding a knife-like object.
According to police, the man entered the store at approximately 3 a.m. Without uttering a word, he pointed what looked like a kitchen knife at the male clerk and demanded money. The clerk’s loud shouting startled the suspect, causing him to flee the scene without taking any cash.
At the time of the incident, the only person inside the store was the clerk, who fortunately remained unharmed.
This attempted robbery has raised concerns among nearby residents. One local resident commented, “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 escaped on a motorcycle and is still at large. Police are currently reviewing security footage and continuing their search for the individual. Authorities urge anyone with information to come forward to assist in the investigation.
