Omaha, NE - Omaha Police arrested two men they believe robbed at least seven small businesses.

Alexander Rainy was working Sunday when a man walked in and was looking at music. Rainy says the man suddenly came to the counter and pointed a gun at him.

Rainy says his guard was down because it was Sunday afternoon when his customer base is the after church crowd.

"They're just nice people and it's a friendly atmosphere just never thought someone in the middle of the day, Halloween night I was a little worried to be completely honest with you but not Sunday at 1 pm," says Rainy.

Rainy says he gave the men all his cash $88 and some change. He says it wasn't worth risking his life over. 

Police eventually caught up to the two suspects. They're trying to figure out if the suspects are connected to any other robberies in the area.
