St. Pete Seeks Armed Robber
St. Petersburg Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying an armed robber who held up a convenience store early this week.
Officials said a masked man approached a clerk standing outside the 7-Eleven at 3000 49th St. N. around 4 a.m. Sunday, October 23, implied he had a gun, and forced him back inside the store. The thief then fled with cash from the register drawer.
The robber was described as white and in his twenties. He was wearing glasses, a distinctive multi-colored sweatshirt, blue jeans, and black and white Nike sneakers. Anyone with information on his identity is asked to call St. Petersburg Police at (727) 893-7780, or to text the keyword “SPPD” and their anonymous tip to 847-411 (Tip-411.)
