A series of videos show two masked robbers, armed with a handgun, stealing from a hardware store in Anguilla this weekend before evading capture.
The CCTV footage tracks the suspects as they commit the robbery, flee the scene, and attempt a second armed robbery before escaping from armed police.
According to a press release from the Royal Anguilla Police Force, the first robbery took place at Apache Tools in The Quarter on the afternoon of Friday, 24 January.
In a video of the incident, one of the men can be seen pointing a weapon at a female staff member behind the counter before taking cash from the till and her purse.
A second man stood guard at the door during the robbery, and then both fled the store.
The gunman was dark skinned, wore all black with a light sweatshirt tied around his waist and light coloured gloves.
The second suspect wore a blue long-sleeved t-shirt, black trousers, blue shoes, and a blue head scarf.
According to the police press release, a report was received at 2.21 pm that the suspects had fled the scene on a scooter.
Shortly afterward, a second video showed officers pulling up at Welcome Supermarket in Stoney Ground, where the man in black was sitting on the scooter.
As an armed officer exited the police car and approached him, he immediately drove away.
Two armed officers then entered the supermarket, where the man in blue was attempting another armed robbery.
A third Facebook video showed him escaping capture towards the back of the store.
It urged anyone who recognises the individuals or the scooter from the images and videos to contact the Royal Anguilla Police Force.
