WAKEFIELD — Police continue their search for a man who tried to rob a clerk at 7-Eleven on Albion Street Saturday morning at knifepoint.
Police searched the West Side neighborhoods after responding to the 3 a.m. call. According to police, a man wearing a “Scream” mask entered the store armed with what was described as a kitchen knife. He demanded the clerk give him all the money in the register.
Apparently impatient, the suspect jumped over the counter and tried to open the register himself. Police said that for some reason he “could not access the money” so he ran out of the store, heading in an unknown direction.
He was described as also wearing a blue hoodie, blue pants and white sneakers.
Police used a State Police dog to help look for the suspect.
