A man has been arrested during a police investigation into a horrific robbery in Australia.
Surveillance video of the incident released last week showed a man wearing a clown mask and black clothing robbing a Holland Park gas station on Dec. 29.
He was seen brandishing what appeared to be a gun at employees as he entered the workplace around 7:30 p.m.
Footage shows him leaning over the counter, grabbing all the cash and running off into the night.
