Huntington Police are searching for a suspect in a robbery after an employee chased him with a weapon.
Police said a man demanded money from the cashier at the Gino's on Norway Ave. at around 9 p.m. on Thursday. The man kept his hand in his pocket, indicating he had a gun, police said.
Police said as the suspect fled with cash, an employee with a legally concealed weapon chased the man outside. Police said the employee pointed the weapon at the suspect who screamed and fell into a puddle, claiming that he didn't have a gun. The suspect fled near Oakland Ave, where he was picked up by another white male driving what appeared to be a dark green 1999 Chevy Malibu, police said.
The suspect is described as a white man possibly in his twenties and around 5'6" in height. He was last seen wearing a white shirt pulled up to his chin and a white bandana covering his head and sunglasses.
Anyone with information is asked to call Huntington Police at (304) 696-4444.
