Wichita food and tobacco store robbed at gunpoint
Police are searching for two men after an armed robbery Tuesday at a north Wichita food and tobacco store.
The men entered the H-Food Mart & Tobacco in the 100 block of West 21st Street at around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Officer Charley Davidson said. One man stood in the doorway while the other approached an employee.
He pointed a handgun at a 37-year-old man in the store and at a 24-year-old woman behind the counter and demanded cash, Davidson said. After cash was handed over, the men ran away.
No one was injured.
Davidson said both men were 6-feet tall and wore black clothing and rubber gloves. One was of medium build and covered his face in a black bandana. The other was of slender build and wore a black mask.
Police ask anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 316-267-2111.
