At 6:52 p.m., Archdale officers responded to the Archdale Food Mart at 1509 N. Main St. in reference to an armed robbery. When officers arrived, they were advised by the store clerk that a white male came into the business armed with a knife and demanded money out of the register.
Police said the suspect did not make any threats toward the clerk. The suspect obtained an unknown amount of cash and ran from the business, according to police.
Archdale police Chief Darrell Gibbs said Wednesday that nobody was injured in the armed robbery.
Police described the suspect as being between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall. The suspect had a white cloth or T-shirt covering his head and was wearing a white T-shirt, tan cargo style shorts and black tennis shoes at the time of the robbery.
