Kennewick police are looking for a man who held up the Pik-A-Pop convenience store before dawn Thursday.

Detective Sgt. Ryan Kelly said the masked man came into the store at 3:50 a.m., stuck a pistol in the clerk’s face and demanded money.

Video surveillance footage shows the man holding some kind of bag and motioning the gun toward the female clerk at the Pik-a-Pop gas station at 526 Columbia Dr.

She gave him some cash from the till and he left.

The robbery started and ended in less than a minute, Kelly said.

The man is described as being about 6-foot, average build and maybe in his 30s. He wore a black Under Armour hoodie, a gray mask and dark pants.

Kelly said officers talked to a man in the area, thinking he was a potential suspect, but they later released him.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Tri-Cities CrimeStoppers at 509-586-8477, 800-222-8477 or go to www.tricitiescrimestoppers.org.
