VIDEO: St. Petersburg gas station robbery caught on video

The robbery of an St. Petersburg Exxon station on Tuesday was captured almost in its entirety by three different cameras.

The dramatic video shows a gunman putting on a black ski mask and entering the store at 3334 15th Avenue South around 10 p.m.

The lone employee is seen being forced to the front counter at gunpoint.  The robber takes cash from the register while pointing a large silver revolver at the clerk. 

The suspect then took off on foot. No vehicle was seen near the store.

The suspect is described as a black male, thin build, wearing a long sleeve white shirt and black BDU style pants.

He also wore distinctive white tennis shoes with a black border.

Investigators are asking for the public's assistance. Anyone with information is asked to call the St. Petersburg Police Department at 727-893-7780 or the Tip Line at 727-892-5000 or Text-a-Tip at 727-420-8911.
