Hooded Man Robs Liquor Store

Menlo Park Police are investigating a robbery that took place Wednesday night at the Tri EZ Food and Liquor Store, which is located at the border of Menlo Park and Atherton.

At about 10:30 p.m. a man wearing a black hoodie, black sunglasses and a black mask entered the store and pointed a handgun at the clerk behind the counter.  He demanded that the clerk give him money from the register and many bottles of alcohol, according to Menlo Park Police.

The clerk did so, and the man fled, running south on El Camino Real.

The clerk, who was not injured during the incident, told police that the man was wearing blue rubber gloves, stained or patched blue jeans, black sneakers with a white stripe, and a black packpack.  Police are asking anyone with information to call the police at (650) 330-6300, or leave an anonymous tip at (650) 330-6395.
