AUGUSTA — Police are investigating a robbery that reportedly took place Tuesday morning at the Big Apple convenience store on Stone Street. The incident took place around 5 a.m., according to Sergeant Jason Cote. The suspect, who can be seen in a security camera photo taken at the store, allegedly displayed no weapon and told employees that a robbery was taking place.
“The suspect basically was able to get an undetermined amount of cash,” Cote said.
Cote described the suspect as a woman who was about 5′ 6″ tall and weighed approximately 150 pounds. She wore plaid pajama pants, a gray hooded sweatshirt and sunglasses at the time of the robbery.
Police are asking members of the public with any information about the suspect to contact Detective Christopher Blodgett at 207-626-2370 ext. 3422, or by email at christopher.blodgett@augustamaine.gov.
“There’s not a whole lot right now,” Cote said of the information presently available. “But we’re hoping that the public can assist and identify the suspect.”
