VIRGINIA BEACH

Police want help in tracking down the robber of a convenience store back more than two months ago.

Investigators have released surveillance photographs of the man, who entered the 7-Eleven in the 3300 block of Holland Road shortly before 4 a.m. on Oct. 20.

Police spokeswoman Margie Long said the robber approached a female cashier standing near the coffee stations, produced a black handgun and demanded money. The man ran from the convenience store with money from the cash register.

The man was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black ball cap with a white Nike “swoosh” emblem. He was described as a light-skinned black man, 30 to 35 years old and standing between 6-foot-1 and 6-3.

Anyone who has information on the crime can call 1-888-LOCK-U-UP. Duane Bourne, (757) 222-5150, duane.bourne@pilotonline.com
