PHILADELPHIA (UPI) -- Police in Philadelphia released security camera footage of a robber pocketing a banana at a store and using the fruit to simulate a gun to rob the shop.
The Southwest Detective Division said the man took the banana from the counter at Tejada Grocery Wednesday and held it in the front pocket of his hooded sweatshirt, making it appear as if he had a handgun.
Police said the man used the simulated gun to demand money and cigarettes from the female clerk, who handed over an undisclosed amount of cash.
Detectives are asking anyone with information about the crime or the suspect to call Philadelphia Police.
