NEW YORK - Cops are looking for a nasty garden gnome who pulled a gun on a store employee when he tried to rob garden equipment in the Flatiron District.
At around 5:30 pm on April 24, a man was inside the garden section on the lower level of the Home Depot on West 23rd Street.
Cops said a security guard stopped the man when he tried to leave without paying for the items he had in his hands. The man put the items back and then pulled out a handgun and threatened the guard. The gunman then ran off.
The NYPD released surveillance video of the suspect. He is described as a male with a dark complexion who is 5 foot 8 and around 200 pounds. He was last seen wearing a camouflage jacket and a baseball cap.
Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
