Florida authorities are searching for a man seen on camera robbing an elderly woman in an attack outside an Orlando convenience store on Wednesday.
According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the violent robbery occurred outside a store on Curry Ford Road, close to the intersection of S. Goldenrod Road, early on Wednesday.
Surveillance footage released by the sheriff’s office shows an 83-year-old individual (who remains anonymous) leaving the store and trying to reach her car while holding her lottery winnings.
FOX 35 Orlando reported that the woman won $200.
Another individual attempts to retrieve the money for the elderly woman, but Fleury pushes him away and flees on foot. As of Wednesday night, authorities have not apprehended him.
A store employee told FOX 35 that Fleury often hangs out near the front of the building and has caused problems in the past.
