Deputies search for store robber

Franklin County Sheriff Department deputies are still searching for a white male who robbed the Scotchman convenience store on U.S. 1 in Wake Forest Sunday night.

According to reports, the man entered the store at 14012 Capital Blvd. about 6 p.m. Lt. Nelson Ross of the sheriff's department said the man laid a knife on the counter and told the female clerk, "Don't make me have to use this. Give me all of your money."

The woman gave him an undisclosed amount of money and called the sheriff's department as soon as he left the store. The woman was not injured and no one else was in the store at the time.

Ross said the store clerk described the suspect as a white male with blond highlighted hair, about 6 feet tall and 170 pounds. The man was wearing a light-colored flannel shirt and blue jeans.

The suspect left in a gold-colored Ford Ranger pick up truck with an extended cab. He was headed south on U.S. 1 toward Wake Forest.
