Police said a man wearing a mask or bandana obscuring his face from the eyes down walked into the Hill Street Market (also known as the GQ Food Market) at 3 Hill St., pointed a handgun at the store’s clerk, took about $600 in cash from the register, and fled.
No one was hurt, police said.
Police described the suspect as a white male dressed in jeans and a dark colored sweatshirt or jacket.
Cops asked anyone with information to call the police department at 203 – 735-1885 and ask for Detective Frolish.
