No vehicle description was immediately available and an area check conducted shortly after the armd robbery turned up nothing, according to police.

Stoneham Police believe there is only one suspect involved; however, they have not ruled out the possibility there was a driver involved. 

Dalis said his department has contacted area police departments, including Woburn Police "because Maple Street leads into Woburn," to see if there may be any connections or similar incidents reported in their communities that may help with their own investigation.

No arrests have been made as of 4 p.m. Wednesday, according to police.
