Video shows masked men hold clerk at gunpoint in Ukrainian Village store

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Gunmen stormed a Ukrainian Village store and held a man at gunpoint while they stole all the money they could find, and it was all caught on camera.

Video from the store's security camera shows one masked gunman rushing up behind the clerk, putting a gun to his head, and emptying the cash register. An accomplice, also wearing a mask and carrying a gun, reaches over the counter and grabs cash from the register as well.

The video came from three different angles from cameras inside the Rio Balsas Market on Chicago Ave. near Damen. Neighbors said it was the latest of a number of recent robberies. In fact, someone smashed a window and stole the cash register from this store earlier this month.

"There's been a couple stores hit on the block in the last three months, so I don't know if it's the same people or the word's getting out that this is a good place to come," said Zack Smith, a neighbor.

The robbery happened about 10:30 a.m. Saturday. A customer was in the store during the robbery as well. Despite threats, the gunmen worked quickly, grabbed what they could and ran from the store in seconds. The gunman hit the clerk from behind several times, but injured no one. They got away with an undetermined amount of cash.

"You kind of look over your shoulder a little bit more than you would a year ago," Smith said.

The store turned the video over to police, who are still investigating. No one is in custody.
