Boesen the Florist shaken by robbery

The suspect has not been identified, with police still searching for the perpetrator

Boesen the Florist had $500 stolen from the establishment during a robbery that occurred Tuesday. 

The robbery happened at lunchtime when there was only one cashier present. 

The robber was said to of walked into the store with his hand in his pocket making it seem that he had a gun and demanding money be put into the bag he was carrying. 

 “I was told to not be a hero.” cashier Cheque Out said. 

The cashier said that she was frightened by the situation, but that she was told to just give the money in the register to the person.

Detective Nils Trygstad said that he wasn’t able to get a description of the suspect, but he was able to find that the robber had a ski mask and was of a more heavy stature. 

“The robbery is out of the ordinary”, Trygstad said.

Trygstad offers advice to stores to get their security systems checked, and if they are able to,  add a cashier to a shift so that it would make it more beneficial and harder for the robber to perpetrate.

The Florist said that they are able to recover the money through insurance claims, but are still assessing the damage done to the door of the store after the suspect ran out. 

The robber was spotted by a witness who was outside the store and they said that he ran towards the back where a getaway car was waiting for him.

Detective Trygstad said for the public to be careful and if another robbery was to happen, to report it speedily so that they are able to get to the case.

 Other stores have been notified of the robbery and are making sufficient changes needed to stop a robbery.
