Forest Park police are searching for a man they say held up a cellphone store along Jonesboro Road on Tuesday.

Surveillance video shows a man wearing a backpack and a dark-colored hoodie enter the Sprint Mobile store in the Forest Square shopping center before pulling out a silver handgun and pointing it at the store’s lone employee.

The woman, who appears to remain calm, led the man to a back room, where he stole several cellphones and an undisclosed amount of money before leaving the store, police said.
