TEWKSBURY, Mass. — Police are turning to the public for help identifying a suspect who is wanted in connection with an armed robbery at a convenience store in Tewksbury over the weekend.
Officers responding to a report of an armed robbery at Andy’s Convenience on Woburn Street just after 8:30 p.m. on Sunday learned that a man in his mid-20s had brandished a Tec9-style firearm with an extended magazine as he demanded cash and other items from a clerk, according to Tewksbury Police Chief Ryan Columbus.
The suspect fled the store after the incident, ran across Woburn Street, and disappeared into a wooded area.
Police said the suspect was wearing a black sweatshirt with white strings, black pants, a navy blue backpack, and white and black Nike sneakers with an orange or red swoosh.
