The Hanover Borough Police Department is searching for a man in connection with a May 12 armed robbery in the Hanover Crossing Shopping Center, Chief Dwayne Smith said in a news release.
After pretending to be a customer, the suspect lifted his shirt to show his handgun and demanded money from a 21-year-old McSherrystown man, who was working alone inside the business around 7:15 p.m. Police did not identify the business in the shopping center.
The victim handed over several hundred dollars from the cash register and the suspect ordered him to walk out of the store with him. The suspect told the man to walk east on Eisenhower Drive, while he took off heading west, the release stated.
The victim was not injured and told police that the suspect was a white male in his 20s or 30s. He had a beard and several tattoos on his left arm, hands and neck, including a tear drop tattoo near his right eye, the release stated.
Any witnesses or anyone with information about the suspect is encouraged to contact the Hanover Police Department at 717-637-5575.
