Troopers say the responded to a 9:30 p.m. report that an unidentified white male suspect entered the store and displayed what appeared to be a handgun, demanding money from the cashier. The cashier refused to give the suspect money and he fled from the store on foot, troopers said.

The male suspect is described as about 5'5” tall, weighing around 140 pounds, with a thin build. He was seen wearing a black Under Armour sweatshirt, a black ski mask, black pants, black sneakers and black gloves. The suspect was also observed to have acne or pock-mark scarring under his eyes and was carrying a black Adidas bag, troopers said.

Agencies assisting state police at the scene included U.S. Border Patrol, St. Lawrence County Sheriff's Department, Massena Police Department and state Park Police.

Troopers ask anyone with information on the robbery to call the New York State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigations in Massena at 379-0012.
