MONETT, Mo. — Police are looking for a male suspect in connection with an early morning robbery Saturday at a convenience store in Monett.

Officer Jeff Martinson of the Monett Police Department said a man wearing a ski mask entered Herd’s convenience store on Cleveland Ave., and threatened the female clerk with an ice pick, demanding the cash in the register. Martinson said the man left with about $250 in cash, and headed west in a Chevrolet pickup truck.

Police are asking anyone with additional information to call the Monett department at (417) 235-4169.
