Andover police are asking for the public’s help in an armed robbery case that happened Tuesday morning at a Kwik Shop on Highway 54 in Andover.

Shortly before 4 a.m., two people entered the business. One carried a semi-auto black and chrome-colored handgun of an unknown brand or caliber, according to information released on the Andover police’s Facebook page.

One of the suspects was wearing an unmarked black hooded sweatshirt with black sweatpants, a mask, and tan or brown slipper style shoes. The second person wore a black hooded sweatshirt with “Aero NYC 1987” on the front, black sweatpants, red athletic shoes with black stripes on the sides, a shiny red mask – which may have been possibly a devil or movie character, according to police. That person carried the handgun.

Police do not have a vehicle description, although it is believed a dark colored sedan may have been involved. The suspects fled through the rear door of the Kwik Shop with an undetermined amount of cash or cigarettes.

If anyone has information on the case, either to the identity of the people involved or the incident, they should contact Det. Daimon Cundiff at 316-733-5177, ext. 231.
