The lone female clerk opened the business at approximately 9 a.m. and shortly thereafter, a white male entered and browsed the aisles, according to Lt. Michael Colavolpe.

Colavolpe said a few minutes later, the man went to purchase a bottle of liquor and as the clerk opened the register, the suspect forcefully grabbed the register and pulled it toward him.

The man proceeded to take the money out of the drawer and ran out of the store.

Although shaken up, the clerk was not harmed and no weapons were displayed, Colavolpe said.

The suspect is described as a white male with a goatee and appears to have tattoos on both his arms. He left the area in an older black pickup truck northbound toward Route 150, according to Colavolpe.

Anyone with information, is asked to contact the Wallingford Police Department at (203) 294-2800.
