The 27-year-old supermarket worker who was allegedly held up at gunpoint by the criminal disguised as a customer says it’s worrying the man was still in the public.
Police are calling for the public’s help to track him down, having released photos and CCTV footage of him moments before the robbery.
The man loitered around in supermarket on Frankston-Dandenong Road in Carrum Downs before he exited the store about 12.30pm on Tuesday, September 15, 2020.
He was then outside the store when he approached a staff member while allegedly holding a gun.
The man followed the worker to the cash register, where the worker filled the bag with money.
“I didn’t look behind me because I knew he had the gun to my back,” the worker said.
“I looked at the gun and was sort of in a panic, my body went in autopilot.
“He was quite calm and matter of fact about everything he seemed to know exactly what he was doing.”
The man then ran from the store with the cash.
No one was injured.
The man was perceived to be Caucasian in appearance, aged in his 20s and was wearing a black face mask and orange high vis top.
Anyone with information or any witnesses are urged to contact police.
