After the armed robbery of a florist shop in Pueblo was caught on tape, police are asking for help finding the man responsible.

Police report the Flowerama located at 1244 Lake Ave. was robbed at approximately 4:41 p.m. on July 15. According to witnesses, the male asked the clerk for change and handed over a $20 bill. When the register opened, the suspect pointed a semi-automatic handgun at the clerk’s head.
