Police search for man who robbed store in Roanoke

Police are looking for a man who robbed a Southwest Roanoke convenience store Monday night.

Officers were called at 11:57 p.m. to the EZN Food Mart in the 3000 block of Brambleton Avenue, said police spokeswoman Aisha Johnson.

A clerk at the store told police that the man walked into the store, showed a gun and demanded money, Johnson said.

The man fled with an undisclosed amount of money.

The suspect is described as a black male wearing dark jeans, a puffy, black coat, a black stocking hat and a black scarf covering his face. He is about 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs about 200 pounds.

Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Roanoke police at 853-5959 or Crime Line at 344-8500. Crime Line may offer a reward for information leading to an arrest.
