PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Employees at a Spring Garden pizza shop were rattled Wednesday night after they said they were robbed at gunpoint by a man posing as a food delivery driver.
Surveillance video shared with CBS Philadelphia by an employee at La Gustosa captured the moment a man wearing all black and a face mask walked into the restaurant and approached the counter.
Owner Aftab Haque said the man claimed he was a DoorDash driver, but the pizza shop didn’t have any orders waiting for pickup.
Video shows the man pull out a gun and direct an employee working behind the counter to empty the register. Moments later when a customer walks in, the gunman forces that person behind the counter, now with two employees. The masked man went through the customer’s wallet, and then took off, Haque said.
Before Wednesday night, Haque said he never had any issues at his restaurant, which he’s owned for about five months on the corner of Spring Garden and 15th Street.
