Suffolk Police are investigating a commercial armed robbery that occurred early Wednesday morning.

The incident was reported at 2:34 a.m. from the 7-Eleven in the 1900 block of Holland Road, according to a city press release.

Two store clerks told police that five individuals — three males and two females — entered the store with the three males armed with handguns.
