BRONX - Cops are searching for a gunman who stuck up a local vendor for flowers during a post- Valentine’s Day flower shop stickup.


At around 6:30 pm on February 19, a man with a black winter cap with a pom pom on top, walked into H&B Fresh Produce on East Gun Hill Road across the street from Montefiore Hospital. Cops said the man pulled out a gun and then shoved the 39-year-old store employee to the ground. Then instead of hitting the register, cops said, the gunman stole flowers from the store. 


He then fled southbound on Dekalb Avenue. 


The NYPD released surveillance video of the suspect. He is described as a male with a light complexion and thin build. He was last seen wearing a black jacket that appeared too long for him since his hands appeared to be in the sleeves. He also wore a black shirt, gray sweatpants and white sneakers. 


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). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips. 


All calls are strictly confidential.
