ALBANY, GA. -- Albany Police are on the hunt for an armed robber who held up a convenience store located at 1800 Oglethorpe Blvd.

After she complied, the suspect then jumped behind the counter and took extra cash stashed away in a box. He then fled the scene. 

Authorities say the dark skinned male was wearing a white t-shirt and dark jeans.

This case is still under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Albany Police Department.
