UPDATE: Man Sought in Armed Robbery at Palisades Center

Clarkstown police are checking video from security cameras in and around the Palisades Center mall today for clues to this morning's robbery at the Victoria's Secret store, where a gunman stole an estimated $16,000 as employees were opening the shop.

While a lone man confronted the store employees with an apparent handgun at 8:26 a.m., police are also looking into whether someone else might have been involved with the robbery.

No one was injured in the robbery and no shots were fire, according to Clarkstown Sergeant Harry Baumann.

Police said there were more than five Victoria's Secret employees at the mall store when they were opening and the gunmen approached and demanded the cash - the receipts from weekend sales.

Police are trying to determine how long the gunman was waiting near the store before he approached the employees.

Police described the gunman as black, about 19 or 20 years old, speaking with an accent. He wore a gray sweatshirt with a hood and had a black baseball cap and sunglasses, and wore long pants and gloves and carried a backpack.

Police ask that anyone who might have information connected with the robbery call them at 845-639-5800.
