LARGO - Pinellas County sheriff's detectives are searching for a man, in the store surveillance camera image at left, who they said robbed a Dollar Store at knifepoint as the shop closed up Monday evening.
The man entered the store on 11550 Ulmerton Road at 7:59 p.m. with a foot-long kitchen knife and told the lone employee to open the register, said sheriff's spokesman Mac McMullen.
The robber took an undisclosed amount of cash and left. He was described as black, about 5 feet 8 and 180 pounds.
He was last seen wearing a brown or tan suede or leather jacket and dark blue jeans with white athletic shoes. He tried to conceal his identity by wearing a do-rag on his head with part of it pulled over his face and white socks on his hands.
Sheriff's officials asked anyone with information to call Detective Ed Crandall at (727) 582-6200 or Crime Stoppers, toll-free, at 1-800-873-8477.
