AUGUSTA, Ga.---It's video that says it all for store owner Satish Patel; a moment of terror caught on tape.

"All of a sudden, he just came in with a mask and started demanding money," said Satish Patel, owner of Holiday Market convenience store.

In broad daylight and in front of customers. Evidence investigators say that this man is bold.

"I was really surprised," said Patel.

He first enters the store with no mask over his face at all. He takes a moment to walk around, then pulls the mask down and goes after the cash.

"If it's early morning or late night, you'd expect it. I didn't expect anything like this at noon time," said Patel.

And just seven hours later and seven blocks up the road, Deputies say the same man was at it again, at the BP.

The cashier that was working at the BP said she was too afraid to go on camera but said what she had to endure Saturday night was like nothing she's ever dealt with before.

The woman says the man forced her to open the cash register then the safe. She says she was too scared to look up and see his face, fearing he would kill her.

And because of that same fear, Patel is already adding more security in addition to his 8 camera surveillance system.

"I'm putting additional fencing in because of the two wooded areas. We want to avoid as much problems with people who can run off," said Patel.

But this man is on the run now and deputies need your help to catch him before he strikes again

Deputies say he's a black male believed to be between 19 to 20 years old. They say he's about 5'6" to 5'7" tall and weighs about 150 pounds. He also wears a black mask and all black clothing. If you know anything, the sheriff's office wants to hear from you
