Police say a man faked a heart attack in a Massachusetts convenience store while his accomplice hopped over the counter to steal money from the register.
Malden police on Facebook say they responded to the store Sunday afternoon on reports of a theft.
Officers were told two white men entered together. Witnesses told police one “faked a heart attack” while the other grabbed the cash.
Both suspects then fled. Police are looking for them.
Police say that in addition to holding both men accountable for the robbery, they also want to make sure the suspect’s ” ‘heart problems’ have been taken care of by a medical professional.”
Police posted surveillance video and images of the men, hoping the public will help identify them.

A 26-year-old Starbucks barista in the suburbs of Tampa known as Vayne Myers has suffered from anxiety ever since he was a child. A co-worker suggested he try an emotional support animal.
So Mr. Myers bought a duck and named it Primadonna. The snow-white bird has worked wonders for his state of mind.
“Whenever I felt like I didn’t matter in the world,” he said, Primadonna would waddle over and remind him that “something does love you.”
But Mr. Myers’s landlord objected, and demanded proof that Primadonna was a medical necessity and not simply a pet. Mr. Myers provided a letter from a therapist in California who spoke to him over a video chat, and then another note from a counselor who met in person with him (and the duck). But neither document satisfied the landlord, who threatened eviction.
Florida man was arrested last Friday after trying to flee a restaurant without paying for a chicken wing meal while exposing himself to patrons and staff.
Brandon Paul Muenz, 30, of Hudson, was detained by deputies from the Pasco Sheriff's Office shortly after 9 p.m. outside Kickin Wingz in Port Richey, inmate records show. He was held by the store manager and a witness who had been in the family restaurant at the time.
When officers arrived at the scene the suspect's clothing was torn and he was also "exposing his sexual organs when he moved around," an arrest report stated,according to WTSP.
Customers inside the restaurant said Muenz had been wearing "torn and disheveled" clothing while eating chicken. The situation escalated after an employee approached to ask if he would pay for the food. He attempted to look for cash and appeared to be rubbing himself.
Citing the arrest report,WFLA reported that the employee asked her boss to intervene. Muenz then allegedly ran from the Kickin Wingz via the front door but he was stopped in the parking lot. The arrest report said employees were "disturbed and bothered by the way [Muenz] was acting and the way he was dressed which exposed his private parts inside a family restaurant."
Inmate records show Muenz—since released—was charged with breach of peace; disorderly conduct, which is a second-degree misdemeanor. Criminal defense law firm Hussein & Webber says it carries penalties of up to 60 days in jail or six months of probation, and a $500 fine.
The criminal law firm explains in an online fact-sheet about the charge: "These penalties... do not reflect the likely sentence that will be imposed in the vast majority of cases.
"For first time offenders, jail time (usually less than 60 days) is a realistic possibility where the accused's conduct involved highly disrespectful or disruptive actions towards police, or posed endangerment to public safety. This is especially true where alcohol or drugs are involved.
