A Florida man who had a dispute over change with a convenience store cashier returned with his five pals and stole $8,000 in a caught-on-video beating and robbery, authorities said Wednesday.
The strong-arm robbery happened just before 6 p.m. Monday at Tony’s Market in Deerfield Beach, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office said.
An adult male wearing a white tank top and black pants was trying to buy a black and purple Dutch cigar when he became "unhappy with the change he received" and engaged in a verbal altercation with the cashier, according to investigators.
The suspect is seen throwing the victim to the ground and holding him down. At one point the victim grabs a baseball bat, and the two wrestle over it.
According to investigators, on Monday, October 24, a man walked into Tony's Market on North Dixie Highway to buy a black and purple Dutch cigar. When he got his change, investigators said he wasn't happy and he began arguing with the cashier.
He then left the store.
Moments later, the man came back with five others. The surveillance video shows him jumping the counter, grabbing the cashier, throwing him to the ground, and holding him down. While this was going on, the others jumped the counter and stole about $8,000 from the business and then left.
Anyone who can identify the man is urged to contact Broward Crime Stoppers at (954)493-TIPS (8477) or online at browardcrimestoppers.org.
