Suspect robs store with stolen banana, peels away on bike

TORONTO – Philadelphia Police are looking for a suspect after he allegedly robbed a store with a stolen banana before peeling away on a bicycle.

Police released surveillance video of Tuesday’s incident.

In the video, a man is seen picking up the piece of fruit and sticking it in his pocket. He proceeds to demand cash and cigarettes from the cashier while making it seem like the banana was a gun.

Officers say the suspect was given an undetermined amount of money before fleeing on a bicycle.

“He then gets onto his bike and peels away on that bike, so we’re asking for the public’s help,” Philadelphia Police Lt. John Walker told CBS News.
