BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. – Police are looking for two men who robbed an Army veteran at gunpoint in the parking lot of a Publix supermarket in Boynton Beach.
Boynton Beach police spokeswoman Stephanie Slater said the victim went to a 7-Eleven on Gateway Boulevard on Aug. 16 to make a wire transfer, but the clerk told him that he would have to go to the Publix across the street.
As the victim got into his car, a white two-door sedan pulled in front of his car, and a man inside pointed a gun at him, Slater said.
In fear for his life, the victim got out of his car and complied with the gunman's demands to hand over all his money, Slater said.
The gunman then drove off through the parking lot and headed west on Gateway Boulevard.
Surveillance video showed the gunman and an accomplice in the 7-Eleven at the same time as the victim, Slater said. Police believe they overheard the victim talking to the clerk and followed him to the Publix parking lot.
Anyone who recognizes the men is asked to call police at 561-742-6144.
