Law enforcement officials are asking the public for any information on a man suspected of robbing a convenience store at knife point. The suspect entered the store after 2:00 in the morning wearing dark clothing and using a dark bandana to hide his face. He carried a black folding knife and brandished it at the clerk. The robber was able to obtain over $700 and then left the scene. The clerk was uninjured in the incident and called police soon after. Police are using an image from the surveillance camera at the convenience market in the hopes of obtaining leads as to the identity and whereabouts of the suspect. Criminal charges should be taken very seriously and it is crucial that you get the representation of Scranton attorney at law if you are in need of skilled criminal defense.
