Police say a wig-wearing robber brandished a weapon in a holdup Sunday night at a Little Rock discount store.
Officers were called shortly after 9:10 p.m. to Family Dollar, 4514 W. 12th St. in reference to a robbery report, the city’s Police Department said.
A 39-year-old woman at the store told investigators that a robber entered the store and asked for cigarettes as well as a Black & Mild cigar. He then brandished a weapon while demanding cash from the register, a 33-year-old witness said.
The robber fled toward 12th Street after getting an unknown amount of money, authorities noted.
The 39-year-old described the robber as a dark-skinned male who stands about 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs around 180 pounds. He wore black gym shorts, a white T-shirt, black do-rag and a platinum blonde wig, police said.
No suspects were named, and no arrests had been made at the time of the report.
