Armed Robbery Suspect Brought a Reusable Grocery Bag With Him to Rob Convenience Store

Andover Police are looking for a man they suspect robbed the Andover Spa Convenience Store on Elm Street in the center of town on two consecutive Wednesdays this month.

The clerk told investigators it was the same suspect in the two robberies.

The first robbery occurred at approximately 8:42 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 22. The suspect entered the store, walked up and leaned over the counter. The suspect told the clerk he had a gun, and told the clerk to put all the money into a bag.

The suspect, caught on video, wore a red hooded sweatshirt with the words Enyce Brand across the chest in white letters, and underneath the words were roman numerals. He was wearing blue jeans, blue baseball hat, light blue surgical type gloves, and a white mask, according to police.

The second robbery occurred at approximately 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 29.

Police said the suspect entered the store and walked up to the counter and placed what appears to be a blue reusable grocery bag on the counter. He then walked around the counter to the cash register and took the money from the register and placed it in the bag.

The suspect fled out the front of the store.

For the second robbery, the suspect wore light blue latex gloves, blue jacket that has a wide silver stripe through the center of it, the jacket has a white and red insignia on the left breast of the jacket. He also was wearing sunglasses, a camouflaged baseball hat.

The suspect’s possible vehicle is a gray mid-2000’s, 2-door Ford Focus, hatchback. This vehicle traveled north on High Street towards North Andover.
