Wichita police investigating convenience store robbery
Wichita police are looking for a man who robbed the Presto convenience store near 13th and Oliver around 11:30 p.m. Friday.
Witnesses described the suspect as an African-American man in his 20s, about 5-feet-5-inches tall. He was wearing a heavy blue sweater, tan pants, black mask and gloves, and had a small black revolver with a brown handle.
Wichita Police Sergeant Bart Brunscheen said the man walked into the business, pointed the revolver at the clerk and demanded money from the cash register. After he got the money, the man left the store on foot traveling east.
Police are working to link the attempted robbery of a Domino's Pizza near Central and Hillside to the the Presto robbery. The suspect in that attempted robbery is described as an African-American man, 5-feet-4-inches tall and 200 pounds. He was wearing a black padded jacket, black pants and a ski mask.
The incident at Domino's happened about 30 minutes before the robbery at Presto.
The suspect did not make entry into Domino's because store policy said the doors must be locked at a certain time.
