An armed man took an undetermined amount of cash from a pretzel shop in the Walden Galleria

this morning before barricading a store employee in the office and apparently fleeing from the

mall in a stolen Sidney Crosby hockey jersey, Cheektowaga police said.

The worker at Auntie Anne's pretzel stand told police he was robbed by a man with a handgun

as he opened the store for business at about 8:50 a.m. Following the theft from the office

safe, the robber barricaded the victim in the office by pushing a file cabinet against the

door, police said.

The worker eventually managed to force the door open and later learned that a Sidney Crosby

Pittsburgh Penguins jersey was missing from a rack in another room of the store. Witnesses

later told police they saw someone wearing such a jersey in the Union Road-Galleria Drive

area.

Anyone with any information about the robbery is asked to call Cheektowaga detectives at

686-3505.
