Suffolk police are asking for help from the public identifying the suspect in an armed robbery that took place early Wednesday morning at the Kangaroo convenience store in the 800 block of West Washington Street.

Police were called to the scene of the robbery at 1:11 a.m., according to a press release from Suffolk spokeswoman Diana Klink.

An investigation has revealed that an unknown male entered the store, implied he had a weapon and demanded money from the clerk, Klink stated.

The subject was described as a black male, about five feet tall, with a thin build and dark complexion. He was wearing a T-shirt with a traffic safety vest, a tan Miami Heat hat, black shorts, a white scarf or T-shirt covering part of his face and what appeared to be white, fingerless gloves.

There were no injuries in the incident.
