York Regional Police are sharing crystal clear surveillance video from the robbery of a gas station.
It happened just before midnight on October 7 near Hwy 7 W, west of Hwy 27.
Video shows a man walk into the gas station with his face covered with a plaid bandana. He walks behind the counter and demands cash of the gas station employee who had been serving a woman standing in front of it.
The clerk appears to try to shoo the suspect away. The suspect briefly exposes his face in full view of the camera and then swings something covered in white fabric at the clerk. Police say it landed.
After that, the clerk punches in codes on two registers and the thief clears the bills out of each of them.
The suspect took off on foot.
