The Columbia Police Department is searching for a suspect after an armed robbery Thursday evening in the 2100 block of Paris Road.
According to a release, a cashier told police that a black man entered the store wearing a black hoodie, a black mask, black pants with white markings on the legs, and a dark colored backpack.
Police said the suspect demanded money from the cash register while keeping one hand in his pocket and making statements indicating he had a weapon, leading officers to believe he was armed.
After collecting the money, the suspect, believed to be between 18 and 22 years old ran south, according to CPD.
The department described the suspect as having a thin build and being of average height.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Columbia Police Department or call CrimeStoppers to remain anonymous.
