Los
Angeles: Los Angeles police detectives have released video

“The suspect looks right into the camera,” said LAPD spokesman
Lieutenant Paul Vernon. “Anyone who knows him will certainly
recognize him from the footage. We’d like any help from the public

The robber took money from the till as well as the cashier’s
personal property. The robber had a thin mustache and a fade-style
haircut.
