Police Looking for 7-Eleven Robber

A gunman committed the hold-up just after midnight early Wednesday.

Police are seeking a man they say held up a 7-Eleven store in the 8600 block of Old Harford Road Wednesday morning.

The robbery occurred just after midnight, when a man wearing a hooded jacket and mask walked into the convenience store and demanded at gunpoint that two people inside get on the ground and surrender their money, according to Elise Armacost, a spokeswoman for Baltimore County police. It was unclear whether those two victims were customers, according to police.

After the two victims complied with the robber's demands, the gunman pointed the gun at a store employee and demanded money out of the cash register. The clerk complied and the man fled with an undisclosed amount of money, Armacost said.
