Friday night, Lower Nazareth Township small business owner Walter Garrett was forced to hand over cash at gunpoint.
"I was just kind of shocked," Garret said. "Why would somebody want to do this?"
Police say two men with guns and face masks approached Garrett as he was leaving work for his daughter's choir lesson. They demanded the money from his pocket, which included a sum of cash being transferred from his business at Porcupine Piercing & Body Modification in the Trolley Station Mall.
"I was a little nervous especially when the guy pulled a gun on me and put it up to my face," Garrett said.
Garrett has been in business for over 20 years and says he works hard every day to keep each of his customers happy. It doesn't take long to find one of those customers near the mall.
"Porcupine Piercing is a great place," customer Jake Fink said. "I have gotten a couple of piercings there and he is real strategic with how he does it and he has a lot of training."
Police are now on the hunt for the men responsible.
"One male had a black and red plaid sweatshirt or jacket on, jeans," Sgt. Mike Enstrom of the Colonial Regional police said. "The other male had jeans on and a white hooded sweatshirt."
"They should just turn themselves in," Garrett said. "Eventually I'm sure they'll get caught, like most people normally do."
Garrett is also offering a reward for anyone with relevant information.
