Two men armed with face mask coverings entered the store last night as one of them held Barney Joseph Jr, 43, at gun point while their partner went to the cash register and stole $382.65.
Joseph did have a gun in the store but decided not to use it due to the fact that he didn’t have enough time and told police that he felt like it was “unwise”. The robbery was over in less than a minute leaving Joseph unharmed.
After further investigation, the police noticed that his father had been held up at the same store, BJ’s Drug, almost 25 years ago. The difference between these two interactions were that Joseph didn’t want to use his gun as he thought he’d be safer just giving up his money than risking his life.
Pretty good, Dylan, but repeat important info even if it’s in the headline:
Two men wearing face masks robbed BJ’s Drug, 450 Stanley Street, last night. One of them held Barney Joseph Jr, 43, at gun point while the other went to the cash register and stole $382.65.
You should identify Joseph as the store owner.
