Augusta Police Seek Robbery Suspect

Augusta police are searching for a man who robbed the Big Apple convenience store on Stone St. early Monday morning.

Augusta police Major Jared Mills says the man walked into the store around 1:30 a.m. and handed an employee a note demanding money.

A photo from a surveillance camera shows the suspect wearing a ski hat, sunglasses and a scarf covering his face.

Mills says the man was given an undisclosed amount of money and he fled the store on foot.

Local police and a State Police K-9 searched parts of Stone St., Eastern Ave. and Middle St. but were not able to locate the suspect.

Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Det. Sgt. Jason Cote at 626-2370 ext. 3423.
