Clearwater Police Seek Man Who Robbed Thorntons Store

CLEARWATER, FL -- Clearwater Police officers are investigating an armed robbery that occurred shortly after 2 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 8 at Thorntons convenience store, 1698 Gulf-to-Bay Blvd.

A white man in his early 20s implied he had a weapon and made off with cash. He has a significant amount of tattoos -- including neck and face with "RIP" over his left eye - that should make him easy identifiable by the public.

He left the scene in a white vehicle, possibly a Chevrolet Malibu or Impala.

The Largo Police Department had a similar robbery three hours earlier on 150th Avenue by a robber matching the same description.

Anyone with information on the identity of the suspect should call Clearwater Police at 727-562-4242.
