“The cashier stated that the suspect demanded everything in the register, in a high-pitched voice,” VIPD spokeswoman Kishma Chichester said. “The cashier did as she was told and gave all the cash in a black plastic bag that the suspect brought.”
The female cashier was not harmed during the robbery, according to Chichester.
Based on camera footage the suspect was wearing a long sleeve light blue shirt, blue jeans,
black slippers, black cap, navy blue mask with the words “Seaside Market” on the
front, she said. The suspect ran off in a westerly direction.
