A robber is sought in connection with a holdup Sunday morning at a Pine Bluff convenience store, police said.

Officers were called around 11:40 a.m. to Fast Mart, 100 N. Walnut St. in reference to a robbery, according to a Pine Bluff Police Department news release.

Police say an “older black male” entered the gas station and demanded money from the cash register while putting his hand in his pocket as if he had a gun.

The robber left in a dark-colored, four-door car with tinted windows, factory chrome rims and faded paint, the Police Department noted.

Authorities described the gray-bearded robber as wearing sunglasses, a dark skull cap with a light-colored stripe, a gray hoodie and gray pants.

He may be linked to another robbery that happened Tuesday at Big Red, 1802 E. Harding Ave. in Pine Bluff, the release states.
