The suspect entered the hardware store around 9:15 AM, just as it was opening. He immediately approached the cashier but left empty-handed. He rode away on a bicycle. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the cashier was very shaken. A robbery has a significant impact and can disrupt a victims life for an extended period.
