Surveillance video that was taken during the June 1 robbery showed a man in a black beanie and a black jacket hanging out in front of the adult store. He was standing next to a woman who may have been acting as a lookout. The man then entered the store, brandished a semi-automatic gun and threatened the clerk. He fled with the store’s money.
