WATCH: 'Wolfman' robs Spring Valley salon

SPRING VALLEY – A man wearing a wolf's mask pulls a knife from his pocket, hands a salon employee a backpack and has her empty the register, a surveillance video released Thursday by the police shows.

He grabs a few stacks of cash from the woman, with one bill falling to the floor, and takes the backpack as he walks out of Kelly's Unisex Salon at 99 S. Central Ave. just before 4 p.m. Tuesday.

After he leaves, the woman picks up her cellphone and calls police, walking to the front door to look outside, the video shows. She steps on the bill left on the floor.

The robber was described as 5-foot-4-to 5-foot-7, with a medium build and wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, and black shoes or boots, Spring Valley Detective Robert Bookstein said.

Detectives continue searching for surveillance video from outside the store in hopes of catching an image of the man without the mask, Bookstein said. They hope that releasing this one leads to his arrest.

The employee, 31, had been working with her young daughter when the man entered the store. No one was hurt.

Anyone with information can call police at 845-356-7400.
