Police were dispatched to the West Carrollton location about 9:53 p.m. , he said.
The suspect is described this way, Flynn said:
- He is in his 50s, about 5 foot 5 and of large build
- He was dressed in camouflage, from head to toe
- He wore a white mask or sheet over his face
- He is believed to have left the scene in a vehicle
Flynn said police are still working to determine whether the man threatened a clerk at the West Carrollton store.
Because the descriptions of the suspect in both robberies are similar, Flynn said, "there is a likelihood they are connected."
