NEW YORK — A rifle-wielding robber threatened a Staten Island convenience store over the weekend, telling the clerk behind the counter what he intended to do with the money he stole.
Surveillance footage from the store shows the terrifying moments when the gunman demands money from the clerk behind the counter.
With the barrel of the gun pointed at the 26-year-old teller, the robber tells the clerk that everything will be fine as long as he complies and delivers the cash.
“Take out the money, under the tray and everything. Right here, everything. I won’t hurt you, don’t worry. Do you have a family? Don’t worry,” he is heard saying.
While the cashier distributes the money at the counter Veterans Convenience on Saturday night, the thief makes a specific request.
“Leave the dollars, leave the dollars,” he repeats.
Possibly inspired by Robin Hood, the gunman tells the clerk what he plans to do with the cash.
“This is going back to the community,” he told the worker. The thief, wearing a blue mask and orange gloves, makes his exit, but not before a backhanded bye-bye.
“Have a good s—–night.”
The employee spoke to our sister network NBC 4 New York after the incident. Although he was not physically injured, the store clerk is shocked and worried about the gunman who is still on the loose.
