Robber used giant stick in store 'stick up'

Police in Virginia are searching for a man who held up a convenience store with an unusual weapon - a very large stick.



Surveillance video shows the suspect bursting into the store in Manassas just after 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday and threatening the clerk with the giant stick.

The clerk grabbed a hammer, sparking a 2-minute standoff of sorts. The suspect eventually won the fight and got away with an undisclosed amount of cash.
