Tiverton Police Seek Cumberland Farms Armed Robber

Tiverton Police are asking the community for help in identifying the man responsible for an armed robbery at Cumberland Farms over the weekend.

Just before 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 9, a white man wearing sunglasses and a hooded sweatshirt walked into the Main Road convenience store, pointed a gun at the female cashier and demanded money.

According to Tiverton Police, the armed robber took off on foot in an unknown direction with just $45. Cumberland Farms employees do not keep large amounts of cash in their drawers and periodically make deposits in a drop-safe behind the counter.

The suspect is described as a clean-shaven white man, approximately 6-foot 4-inches tall in his mid-20s. At the time of the robbery, he was wearing blue jeans and a green hooded sweatshirt and carried a black hand gun.

Anyone with any information about this robbery or identity of the suspect pictured above is asked to call Tiverton detectives at 401-625-6722.

Four officers responded on the day of the robbery to secure and process the scene, interview the clerk and case the surrounding area. Police did not find any suspicious vehicles in the area and found no suspects immediately following the clerk's 911 call.

Police seized video surveillance of the incident and obtained several still frames of the thief.
