Surveillance video at about 9 p.m. shows a masked suspect pointing a handgun to at least two employees. He appears to demand money and would then put the gun away in his belt.

An employee is seen holding up her hand and begins to do what the suspect wants. But the suspect pulls out the gun again, reaches across the counter and puts the gun in the employee’s face, who then jumps back.

The man left with an undetermined amount of money. It is believed he drove away east on CR 210 W. toward Interstate 95 in a white Volkswagen Jetta, according to deputies.

The manger told Action News Jax that the night employees are OK.

The man is believed to be 6 feet tall with a slim build.
