Police in a New Jersey community are searching for a masked robber captured on video holding up a gas station attendant with a gun.
The robber approached the attendant inside the glass booth at a gas station at 1217 Route 23 South in Wayne just before 3 a.m. last Tuesday, showing a black handgun, police said.
The suspect demanded cash, and the attendant handed over money from his pocket, police said.
The robber allegedly told the victim, "Don't look me," chambered a round in the gun, then demanded more money. The attendant then gave him money from the register.
The robber then fled through the parking lot toward a footpath between the Shell station and a Burger King.
The attendant, Manpreet Singh, said he thought the robber was joking at first -- and then heard him cock the gun. He thinks he has seen the robber at the gas station before.
Singh has just been on the job two months, working overnights.
