Police are looking for a man who attempted to rob a convenience store early Wednesday with an electric drill.
A man wearing black jeans, a black sweater and a black mask entered the Kwik Shop near First Street and Cornhusker Highway at 2:49 a.m., Lincoln Police Officer Katie Flood said.
He demanded money and held an object concealed under a towel to look like a gun, Flood said.
The clerk, however, noticed a drill bit and saw a cord hanging from below the towel and refused to give the man money.
After the clerk told the man she thought it was an electric drill, the man left without taking anything.
A man in the area saw the man leave the store, run toward a nearby mobile home park and leave eastbound in a dark-colored, four-door car, Flood said.
The manager of the Kwik Shop provided police with surveillance footage.
The clerk described the man as about 5-foot-5, 140 to 150 pounds. He is likely young, judging from his voice, Flood said.
“Pay up or I’ll drill ya.”
What a boring story
That’s why some stores keep a Hilti under the counter.
Don’t laugh, this could have been a tragedy...

An artist slowly goes insane, makes the first cordless drill and begins killing people.
Was it Cagney, Robinson, or Raft who said, “Don’t move or I’ll drill ya”?
I have an alibi.
