Three men threatened a clerk at a North Laurel video store and fled with $450 in cash Tuesday night, Howard County police said.
An employee of Video Magic in the 9100 block of All Saints Road told police that he was approached by three men about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday. One of the men, who wore a dark stocking hat over his face, put a hard object to the cashier's back and demanded money from the cash register, police said.
The employee emptied money from the register into a bag held by one of the men, police said.
