Man robs Kennewick convenience store with bulge in his coat
A robber grabbed cash from a Kennewick 7-Eleven without making any threats or showing any weapons.
The suspect walked into the store at 3606 W. Clearwater Ave. and demanded cash from the clerk around 1:45 a.m. Thursday, Officer Sebastian Castilleja said in a news release.
After getting the money, he walked out.
He was wearing a camouflage jacket and blue jeans, according to initial dispatch reports.
Police said he didn’t make any threats or show a weapon but a witness told dispatchers the man had a bulge in his coat that resembled a weapon.

The clerk wasn’t hurt.
Photos of the suspect are not being released at this time, said Castilleja.
