Police are looking for an armed thief who stole DVDs from a vendor in Coney Island early this month.

The incident happened on Nov. 6 near Mermaid Avenue and West 29th Street. The 39-year-old vendor attempted to confront the thief, who took off with the merchandise without paying. That was when police said the thief took out a firearm and fired some shots.

The vendor was not injured during the altercation.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
