Paul's robbed at gunpoint
Paul's Market was robbed at gunpoint Wednesday night at about 10:30 p.m.
The suspect was described as a white male, 30-40 years old, approximately 5'8" to 6'2", blonde with blue eyes, about 220 lbs., wearing dark pants, Nike shoes and dark jacket with an orange undershirt. He wore a dark ski mask during the robbery and wore safety glasses over the mask.
The suspect is believed to have been hiding in the store when employees began closing up at about 10:30 p.m. He approached the store employees and informed them they were being robbed. It is not believed there were any customers in the store at the time.
The two store employees were escorted into the customer courtesy desk area where the robbery took place. They were not harmed during the incident. A Mountain Home Police Department spokesperson was not immediately sure if the money had been taken from the safe or the tills but said the receipts in the store at the time were taken. That amount has not been disclosed.
The suspect left the store through the back entrance. Authorities received the report of the robbery at 10:40 p.m. and were on scene at 10:42 p.m.
Anyone with information about the robbery is being asked to contact the Mountain Home Police Department Investigations Bureau at 587-2101 or remain anonymous by using the police department website, www.mhpd.net, and click on the Silent Witness link to report the crime.
