Video: Store Clerk Fights Back Against Robbery Suspect
HENDERSONVILLE, SC – It’s lights out for an armed robbery suspect who tried to hold up a business.
The masked man attempted to stick up an employee at the We Buy Gold store on Spartanburg Highway.
But Derek Mothershead turned the tables on the 25-year-old Mostafa Hendi and knocked him unconscious.
Store surveillance video shows Mothershead holding Hendi down as he called the police.
“He came through the door..hoodie on his head..said ‘gimme the money..gimme the money…I threw my hands up..said take the money if you want it,” said Mothershead. “Instead of putting it in the bag..I handed it to him..and hit him.”
Store manager Juaz Crus says he thinks Hendi got the message.
“If he wants money, get a job..work like everybody else in this world,” said Mothershead.
Cruz said, “We ain’t gonna let it slide..especially after we’ve seen the first video…Merry Christmas Mostafa Hendi.”
Hendi was charged with armed robbery with a dangerous weapon and is being held on $100,000 bond.
