NEW YORK — Police are searching for the person behind a brazen robbery at a small Bronx flower shop on Monday.
A man knocked on the door of the Norwood Florist on Dekalb Ave around 6:30 p.m. wanting a bouquet of roses, said the brother of the store’s owner, Oscar Rodriguez.
Rodriguez said when he told the man the bouquet would cost $10, the man told him he wouldn’t pay before pushing Rodriguez to the ground.
The man showed a couple of bills and a bullet in his hand, Rodríguez said.
“He said ‘this is for you,'” Rodriguez said. “When he left, he showed me the gun.”
Nearby surveillance cameras captured images released by police of the person investigators are looking for in connection with the robbery.
Rodríguez returned to work on Tuesday.
“We are not here stealing,” Rodríguez said. “We are trying to make money, it is very difficult.”
Police are asking anyone with information to call CrimeStoppers at 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
