Burlington Police Seek Armed Robbery Suspect

BURLINGTON (CBS) – Police are looking for an armed man who held up a convenience store at gunpoint Friday night.

Burlington police said One Stop convenience store on Winn Street near the Woburn city line was robbed at about 9:25 p.m.

The clerk told police that a large, heavy-set man about 6'1" or 6'2" tall came into the store, showed a black handgun and ran off with an unknown amount of cash.

Police said the man was wearing a white zip-up vest over a black jacket. He was also wearing New Balance sneakers, blue gloves, and a green mask that covered his face.

Based on video surveillance footage, police believe the suspect was watching the store before entering.

After robbing the store, the man fled west on Mountain Road, where officers believe a vehicle was waiting for him. That is the area a K-9 unit lost the suspect's track.

Anyone with information on the robbery is asked to contact the Burlington Police Department's Detective Division at (781) 272-1212.
