Police on Long Island are searching for a man they say dashed into a bodega with a stocking on his head and put a customer in a headlock while robbing the store at gunpoint.
The robber entered the A&H Milk Mart in Valley Stream on Thursday evening last week and immediately put a 58-year-old customer in a headlock, police said.
While holding the customer, the suspect pulled out a handgun covered in a plastic bag and demanded money from a 39-year-old clerk working at the store, according to police.
The clerk handed over cash and the suspect took off down Mill Road in a silver Nissan Sentra.
No injuries were reported.
Police released surveillance images of the suspect on Friday.
Anyone with information is asked to call Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS.
