A male suspect, leveraging the threat of what the employee believed to be a gun, forced the store worker to re-enter the business. The suspect pressed an object against the employee’s back, possibly a firearm, compelling the employee to comply with his demands.

Once inside, the suspect directed the employee into a closet, effectively containing the worker while he proceeded with the robbery. The perpetrator then took various items from the store, including alcohol.

This alarming event has raised concerns about safety and security in the area, particularly for businesses operating during the early hours.
