The robbery occurred at the Star Mart at 1903 North 1st Street shortly after 10 PM.

No injuries were reported.

The suspect was described as a white male of medium build with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a black ski mask, gray sweat shirt, and blue jeans, and had a red bandanna tied around his neck.
