The robbery happened on Sunday, June 8 at a business in the 6400 block of Harbison Avenue.

Police told Action News that the suspect was wearing a makeshift law enforcement outfit and presented himself as an agent from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, commonly referred to as ICE.

His outfit included a baseball cap with an American flag on the front and a tactical vest with the words "Security Enforcement Agent."

Police say he yelled 'immigration' and some of the employees left the business. He then zip-tied the woman behind the counter.

Rosado allegedly got away with $1,000 in cash before taking off in a white Ford E-250 van.
