Security camera footage captured a tense confrontation between a store clerk and a man dressed entirely in black near the entrance of a local store during the still-dark hours of the early morning.
According to police reports, the suspect entered the store around 3 a.m. Without uttering a word, he pointed what appeared to be a kitchen knife at the male clerk while demanding money. The video shows the clerk raising his arm, maintaining distance from the suspect, who held a knife-like object.
The clerk’s loud shouting startled the suspect, prompting him to flee the scene without taking any cash. At the time of the attempted robbery, the clerk was the only person inside the store and fortunately, he was unharmed.
This incident 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 escaped on a motorcycle and remains at large. Police are actively reviewing security camera footage and continuing their search for the individual involved in the attempted robbery.
