Metro asks for help finding 7-Eleven robber

Police asked for the public’s help Wednesday in finding a man they say robbed an east valley convenience store in December.

The robbery occurred about 2:10 a.m. on Dec. 22 at the 7-Eleven near the intersection of East Sahara Avenue and South Lamb Boulevard, according to a Metro news release.

The man entered the store and placed an item on the counter and said he would return to purchase it. He then walked out of the store, police said.

He returned, walked directly to the counter and demanded money from an employee while pretending he had a weapon.

The worker gave up the money, and the man left on foot.
