A release from the Stoneham Police Department:

STONEHAM - Chief James McIntyre and the Stoneham Police Department are seeking the public's assistance with identifying the suspect in an armed robbery that occurred earlier this week in town in which the suspect brandished a syringe at a gas station clerk.

On Sunday, Aug. 25 at 11:12 p.m., Stoneham Police responded to the Mobil station on Montvale Avenue for a report of a robbery at the convenience store inside the gas station.
