Weston ROBBER’S MASK ON MASK OFF ROUTINE YIELDS NO CASH, LEAVES CLEAR IMAGE

Description of Incident:

Despite serious effort, an armed man fails to hide his face from surveillance cameras and fails to get any cash during a botched gas station robbery early Sunday morning in Weston. Broward Sheriff’s Office detectives are asking the public to help identify this would-be robber.

At 3 a.m. Sunday morning, Regia Obas was working at the Mobile gas station on Weston Road when she noticed a man as he stood outside the door. His face was obscured by a bandana and a hoodie. The cautious clerk did not buzz him in until he removed the bandana and hoodie in sight of the security camera. Upon entering, the man covered his face again and brandished a handgun. He demanded the money from the register, but once it was clear that the clerk would not come out of the safety enclosure, he left with nothing. The man fled in a black car which was parked near a gas pump.

Anyone with information is asked to contact BSO Detective Mark Copley at 954-321-4738 or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or online atwww.browardcrimestoppers.org. A reward of up to $3,000 is available for information leading to an arrest.
