Last month, ThoroldToday spoke to Sue Sarcino of Little Pine Variety, who was robbed at gunpoint — then went right back to work after police left the scene.

“What am I supposed to do?” Sarcino said. “Cry over $80? I don’t get bullied. I’m not going to sit in my closet and cower over every noise I hear.”

In fact, Sarcino said she was glad the robber targeted her and not someone more vulnerable. "Maybe it saved some little old lady getting knocked down in the parking lot with a gun in her face," she said.

Reporter Bernard Lansbergen, who covered the story, was a recent guest on Village Media's "Behind the Scenes."
