Ann Arbor police Detective William Stanford said police responded at 1 p.m. Friday to the store at 1912 W. Stadium Blvd. after being notified of the robbery. Stanford said the man entered the store and passed a note to a clerk behind the counter.
No weapon was seen on the man but Stanford said the note implied he had one.
“He was given the money and he demanded the clerks all turn away and forced them to lay on the floor,” he said. “He then fled the store.”
The man left the store on foot. Stanford said there were several witnesses to the robbery but investigators were unable to locate the man.
He’s described as black, 6-feet-2 inches tall, between 180 and 190 pounds, wearing a brown coat, dress shoes, black pants, gloves, a scarf and a hood.
“He was all bundled up and it’s 50 degrees out,” Stanford said
Police are asking any member of the public who might have seen the man or witnessed the robbery to get in touch with Stanford. Anyone with information on this incident is encouraged to call Stanford at 734-323-2628 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800 SPEAK UP (773-2587).
