This frame grab from a surveillance camera shows an armed robbery at LZ Market in Dandan on Monday night.

A masked man who was carrying a handgun sprayed pepper mace on a store owner during an armed robbery at LZ Market along Dandan Road on Monday night. <\/p>\n

The masked robber ran off with $800 in cash and got into a get-away car being driven by another person. <\/p>\n

The store\u2019s surveillance camera captured the entire incident. <\/p>\n

Saipan Tribune learned that as soon as customers left the store, the masked man came inside, pointed a handgun at the male owner who was at the cashier\u2019s counter, and demanded money.<\/p>\n

The store owner handed the robber money from the counter, but the suspect asked for more. At one point, the suspect had a hard time holding the bills as the store owner handed him more money.<\/p>\n

Before leaving the counter, the suspect sprayed pepper mace on the victim\u2019s face. The store owner\u2019s horrified 13-year-old son, who was near the counter, managed to run off.<\/p>\n

When the suspect ran outside the store, the store owner ran to follow the suspect. Police were then called. <\/p>\n

It was the first time the store was robbed after it opened in 2012. <\/p>\n

Last October, a 44-year-old woman was injured when a group of masked persons beat her up, tied her arms behind her back, and taped her mouth during a robbery at her residence in Gualo Rai. <\/p>\n

The suspects managed to take only a cell phone as they ran away when the victim\u2019s roommate arrived at the house, police said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
