A convenience store owned
by an Indian-origin couple in North Carolina's Gastonia city was robbed
by a gun-wielding man, a media report said.
Jacob's Food Mart at
1406 Gaston Avenue in Gastonia, owned by Baki and Sanjay Patel, was
robbed, The Gaston Gazette reported on Thursday.
Baki was alone
when the man armed with a handgun entered the store around 9 p.m. on
Wednesday and demanded that she hand over all the cash she had. The
robber escaped with more than $1,300 in cash, according to police.
The
surveillance camera captured the robbery. The footage shows Baki
putting her hands in the air when the man pointed the gun at her before
collecting the cash and escaping.
The suspect has been described as a black male who wore a blue T-shirt and had a bandana covering most of his face.
