An armed man took an undetermined amount of cash from a pretzel shop in the Walden Galleria this morning before barricading a store employee in the office and apparently fleeing from the mall in a stolen Sidney Crosby hockey jersey, Cheektowaga police said.

The worker at Auntie Anne's pretzel stand told police he was robbed by a man with a handgun as he opened the store for business at about 8:50 a.m. Following the theft from the office safe, the robber barricaded the victim in the office by pushing a file cabinet against the door, police said.

The worker eventually managed to force the door open and later learned that a Sidney Crosby Pittsburgh Penguins jersey was missing from a rack in another room of the store. Witnesses later told police they saw someone wearing such a jersey in the Union Road-Galleria Drive area.

Anyone with any information about the robbery is asked to call Cheektowaga detectives at 686-3505.

But seriously, what a freakin' tool. I wonder if there was more reason to this guy's motive here.

I'm betting he was in the mood for a pretzel and wanted a Crosby jersey.

Takes some balls to rob a mall, and he actually got away with it (for now). Guess we can just be glad no one got hurt at least.
