Police Monday released video footage of a Halloween-masked bandit and 2 others sought for committing a "brazen robbery" at a downtown resale business in which customers and employees alike were targeted.
The robbery, which was captured on surveillance video, occurred Oct. 29 at 4:10 p.m. at California Liquidator, 664 S. Santa Fe Ave.
"This was such a brazen robbery," said Lt. Paul Vernon, commanding officer of the Los Angeles Police Department's Central Division detectives. "Thankfully, no one was hurt this time."
The robbery crew -- the other two were wearing dark-colored hoodies -- burst into the downtown resale business and took more than $6,000 in cash, he said.
"The videotape clearly shows how the suspects shoved their guns into the faces of frightened customers and employees," Vernon said.
"One customer, a woman, was actually kicked in the shoulder while she lay on the floor, even though she was obeying their commands."
Vernon said the suspects escaped in a white or silver Toyota Camry.
"Typically, suspects will share information or brag about their exploits," he said.
"We'd like anyone with information to come forward and help us identify them."
