At 6:52 a.m. police responded to the 7-11 convenience store at 173 Cambridge Road on a report of a robbery.

Police spoke to the owner and his daughter. The owner said a male party entered the store and grabbed a few items and came to the register where his daughter was working.

She said the male leaned over the counter and displayed a knife. She said the man then told her to “give me the money.” She handed over between $300 and $400. The male then fled the store and ran towards Russell Street.

The daughter described the man as a chubby white male in his fifties wearing a blue shirt and black shorts and a black cap and had a goatee. He was over 6 feet tall and over 300 pounds.
