BRUNSWICK

Authorities today continue to hunt for two people who robbed the Big Apple store at 111 Pleasant St. shortly before 9 p.m. Friday.

Nobody was hurt during the robbery.

The pair, believed to be a man and a woman, entered the store wearing hooded pull-over jackets and sunglasses. One of them allegedly showed the clerk a gun and demanded money. The clerk handed over what police described as an “unknown amount” of cash.”

Police said the suspects also attempted to rob a female customer who was in the store at the time of the incident, but apparently were scared into leaving before she could hand over any money.

Neither the make and caliber of the gun, nor which of the two alleged robbers was holding it, yet has been determined, according to Brunswick police Lt. Tom Garrepy.

Both suspects are believed to be white, but wore bandanas to cover their faces.

The male is thought to be 5 feet, 6 inches to 5 feet, 8 inches tall, between 240-260 pounds and wore a black hooded sweatshirt with three white stripes along the sleeves, black pants and white sneakers.

The woman was described as 5 feet, 4 inches to 5 feet, 6 inches tall, about 220-240 pounds, and wore a red hooded winter coat, bare legs and white sneakers.

Police canvassed the area surrounding the store immediately after the alarm, which was called in at 8:43 p.m., and Sagadahoc County Sheriff ’s Office lent a tracking dog to the hunt, as well. However, no sign of the robbers was turned up.

Detectives continue to investigate the incident, and anyone with information is asked to call Brunswick Police at 725-5521.
