On Monday evening, just after 745 p.m., police were called to the Family Dollar on Cumberland Street for a robbery.
The clerk said that the suspect was in line to purchase items. When he got to the counter, he put his hand in his coat pocket, shook it around and said “Give me your money, I’m serious.”
The clerk believed the suspect had a weapon and gave the suspect cash. The suspect fled on foot.
While fleeing, the suspect, a Hispanic male wearing a dark hooded coat and blue jeans dropped some of the cash. A person in line unaware of what happened picked up the cash and tried to give it back to the suspect.
