WATCH: A man wanted in connection to a robbery in Colorado on
Sept. 2 was caught on security camera dropping a replica gun before
running out of the store, losing his pants in the process.
Security camera footage shows a man walking into the store on Sept. 2 and attempting to take out what police later said was a replica handgun. But it ends up flying over the counter instead.
“The BB gun, with the orange tip removed, fell onto the floor where the clerk grabs it,” Aurora police said in a Facebook post.
Video captures the surprise on the suspect’s face as the gun makes its way over the counter. The suspect attempts to climb over the counter, before appearing to change his mind. He runs back out the door. He is then seen losing his pants before going off screen. The clerk then goes to the door and appears to lock it.
Police released the video in hopes of identifying the suspect and arresting him.
The owner of the store told the Denver Post he was surprised by the footage.
