The attempted robbery
Police confirmed in a statement later that day that they were alerted to the attempted robbery at about 3:15am.

Preliminary investigations showed that a man allegedly walked into the supermarket with a metal rod.
He then allegedly placed it on the cashier’s neck and demanded money.
