Heist Reward Offered

Tue., May 4, 1999

Secret Witness is offering a $1,000 reward for information that solves a Millwood convenience store robbery that happened in March.

The incident began about 8:35 p.m. March 20 when a white or Hispanic man in his mid- to late 20s walked into the 7-Eleven at 3409 N. Argonne Road.

He cocked the hammer of a pistol and pointed it at the female clerk while demanding that she empty the cash register, according to store surveillance video. He then ordered two customers to get away from him, the video showed.

The suspect escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash. No one was injured.

He is described as 5 feet 11 inches tall, 160 pounds with brown hair. The suspect wore a dark brown jacket, a T-shirt and blue jeans with a white knitted mask pulled over his face.

Anyone with information about this robbery should call Secret Witness at 327-5111.
