Man tried to rob petrol station with finger

Jacksonville police are looking to find a man who attempted to rob a Gate petrol station on Monday morning. At about 3 a.m., a man with a plastic bag over his head walked behind the counter and ordered the clerk to "open the register and give me all the money," according to a report from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

The man had a pointed object protruding from his shirt. However, the clerk immediately realized it was the man's finger and said, "I'm not giving you anything."



The would-be robber then turned his attention to a customer. He told the customer to give up all of his money and, "the customer laughed at the suspect," according to the report.

The suspect was last seen heading northbound on foot from the business. He is described as a white man, 5feet 7 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall, 150 to 175 pounds with curly brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a black shirt and blue jeans.
