The hunt is on for an armed robber who hit a San Antonio convenience store late last month, police said. An unidentified individual is on the radar of San Antonio Police Department following a bold heist at the Express Mart on SW 19th Street, which saw a cashier coerced at gunpoint to empty the register.
In the February 27 incident, the thief brandished a handgun and made off with a undisclosed sum of money, according to an announcement made by the SAPD. The department is now seeking tips from the public, as their investigation continues. FOX San Antonio reported that the suspect fled from the scene with the cash in hand, leaving law enforcement scrambling to piece together his whereabouts.
As per usual protocol in these situations, Crime Stoppers has stepped in, offering a reward for information that could lead to a break in the case. They've put up to $5,000 on the table for tips that help identify and locate the individual responsible for the robbery.
The San Antonio Police Department has not publicly released any further details about the suspect in question. However, they're appealing to anyone with information to come forward and assist in bringing the perpetrator to justice. The local community, meanwhile, is on edge as a armed runaway thief remains at large. Crime Stoppers is urging witnesses or anyone with relevant knowledge to step up and can be reached anonymously via their hotline.
