Surveillance video released Monday showed how a suspect managed to rob a customer at a gas station convenience store, all while using his right pointer finger as a fake gun.
Police said they were looking for the suspect, who made off with $130.
The video showed him casually approaching the 32-year-old customer early Wednesday morning before suddenly jamming his finger into the man's upper back. Police said he told the man, “Give me everything you got.”

Investigators said the suspect tried to rob a second man, who didn't buy the fake gun routine.
The suspect is approximately 5'10" and in his mid-to-late 20s, according to investigators.
