Masked man robs store, promises to return cash if ‘he gets away with it’
A masked man walks into an East Dayton drive-thru and asks for money and three cartons of Marlboro cigarrettes.
The clerk at first thinks it’s a joke. Then the man pulls up his shirt to display a large knife in his belt. The clerk empties the cash register of around $150. Having but two cartons of Marlboros, the clerk hands both over, and the masked robber is satisfied.
As he’s leaving, the masked robber tells the clerk “he usually doesn’t do this, and if he got away with it, he’d return the money,” according to the police report.
The suspect in the Tuesday night robbery of the Kwik ‘N’ Kold in the 1400 block of Linden Avenue is described as a 6-foot-1, skinny white male, wearing a long-sleeved white T-shirt, blue jeans and a gray hooded sweatshirt. The clerk described the mask as being homemade with the eye and mouth holes roughly cut out.
The robber was spotted by a WHIO-TV videographer as he fled the scene on foot. A police search did not locate the suspect. Police are awaiting a copy of security video of the robbery.
