An armed thief pointed a gun at loss prevention officers before carjacking a man outside a Sears store in Crenshaw.
The shoplifter pointed a revolver at victim Angel Hererra’s head before ordering him out of his car and driving off.
The Los Angeles Police Department has released a video of the Sep. 9 incident in the hope of tracking down the robber, who is described as being in his late 40s to early 50s and sporting a distinctive moustache.
He is shown struggling with loss prevention officers after allegedly leaving the store with $350 worth of merchandize. The store workers try and pull him back inside, before the suspect produces his handgun and waves it at them.
Hererra told NBC4 he was stopped at a stop sign in front of the store when the man then approached, pointed the weapon at him and took off with his Toyota 4Runner, which has never been found. He described the incident as the scariest moment of his life.
"He was very calm like it was not that big a deal for him so he's probably done stuff in the past," Det. Joe Meyer said, "He's got a gun, he's a dangerous guy (it’s) just a matter of time before he hurts somebody."
