Shortly after 4 a.m., officers received a call of an armed robbery at the am/pm in the 1100 block of Palm Avenue.

According to the cashier, a man entered the store, brandishing a gun and told the clerk to empty the register.

The clerk complied and the robber then asked for a pack of cigarettes before fleeing the store on foot.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic man in his 20s, 5’10” tall and about 200 lbs., wearing a skeleton mask and black hoodie.

The clerk told 10News that the same am/pm was robbed a few days ago, possibly by the same man, who got away with $300.
