Surveillance video released on Tuesday showed an armed robbery taking place at the 7-Eleven on East Venice Avenue in Venice last week.
Around 230 on the morning of August 15th, four men walked into the store with disguises and stole cash and cigarettes. The clerk on duty told police the men threatened to shoot her if she didn’t cooperate. They then left in a silver sedan.
The same men are thought to have robbed a second store in Manatee County just a few hours later. Anyone with information is asked to call police.
