Video Released of Subway Armed Robbery Suspect

St. Petersburg Police are looking for some identifying a man they say held up a Subway restaurant Thursday night.

According to the department, the man walked into the 3355 5th Ave. N. store around 10 p.m. and pointed a handgun at a female clerk. He demanded money.

The clerk ran to the back of the store, however, where she and a male employee hid out in a cooler. The woman called her boyfriend, who called police.

By the time police arrived, the armed robber had left empty handed.

Police are now trying to identify the man responsible.

Anyone with information about the man’s identity can text a tip to SPPD or call 727-893-7780.
