The Long Island mother was attacked and robbed at gunpoint while putting her toddler into her car seat at the shopping center.
The man then took off with her phone, hiding behind other cars as he ran away.
"We would like to commend this victim for her composure during the incident, and her presence of mind to activate the key fob which scared the suspect off," said Suffolk Count Det. Lt. Michael Crowley."We don't recommend people fight in these circumstances.""I feel it’s very scary that you cannot feel safe in a parking lot or a shopping center especially with your child, and be threatened by some thug with a gun," said Ann Sheleck, of East Northport.
Police said that they released the video nearly two months after the incident because they were working on some investigative leads that didn't pan out, and now are asking for the public's help. They stressed that they believe it is an isolated incident, and have not had any reports of anything similar happening, wanting to emphasize that it is not a common occurrence.
There is also a $2,000 CrimeStoppers fast cash reward for anyone who has information that leads to an arrest.
