Released thursday, images from surveillance video showing an armed robbery at the Rooster Deli in northeast Bend. In the suspect's hand what appears to be a handgun.
"It just goes through your mind over and over and over. You just repeat the scene like in your head, like, what could I have done differently?" said Kayla Casey. She was working last thursday night when this man entered time, showed a gun and demanded cash. Police searched the area, but the suspect was gone with an undisclosed amount of money. No one was hurt.
"You can see that his right hand is in front of him, down in front. It's difficult for me to tell at this point in time if the handgun is being displayed but we have reason to believe it was," said Lt. Gregory from the Bend Police Detectives Division.
In these two photos, taken from another camera, the suspect's hooded sweatshirt appears light colored but witnesses describe it as dark, along with dark sunglasses and dark pants. The suspect's described as five foot five and one hundred forty pounds.
"You just see somebody and say, if he had a hood on, could it be him. I don't know, it's creepy thinking about it," said Casey.

"You couldn't really see any of his face but the bottom half. You know, so we couldn't really tell what color hair he had. He had sunglasses on so we couldn't see his eyes," said Casey.
