A man robbed a Central Kentucky business in broad daylight, and it's all caught on tape.

Investigators say the suspect walked into Pete's Check Cashing Center on South Main Street in Nicholasville Monday morning. He told the clerk he had a weapon and got away with some money.

The man was wearing a blue mask and a gray hoodie. He is a white male, 5'8" tall, and has a lean build. He also has curly gray and brown medium length hair.

Nobody was hurt during the crime.

Nicholasville police say this is the first robbery in several weeks, but with a struggling economy and the holiday season just around the corner, the crime comes as no surprise.

"This time of year brings this out," says Officer Kevin Grimes, with Nicholasville Police. "With he economy, it could get worse."

Police are still on the lookout for the robber and are asking people to be on alert.

I agree with Larry.... McDonalds will hire anyone... These people wouldn't work before the reccession. Maybe if people could't get on ssi when they are 18 years old, they may be motivated to make a life for themsleves without expecting everything given to them.

The economy has nothing to do with it. These thieves are thieves all the time. When caught, they should be disposed of.
