HYANNIS, MA — A Hyannis man was arrested after police said he robbed a Stop & Shop grocery store in South Yarmouth last month.

Destiney Mayo, 48, was charged with unarmed robbery, after being arrested on Sept. 2, Yarmouth police said Thursday.

Police said the robbery happened on Aug. 12. Officers were called to the Stop & Shop on Station Avenue. Mayo got away, but store employees gave a description of him, a white man, about 6 feet tall, wearing a mask and sunglasses, police said.
