LITTLE ROCK — An employee of a Little Rock EZ Mart was robbed while taking out the trash early Tuesday morning.
Little Rock police received a call about 12:45 a.m. and responded to the EZ Mart at 11911 Mara Lynn Road.
The male convenience store worker told police that he was taking out the trash when he saw someone crouching in front of the store.

The first robber was described as a 25- to 30-year-old black male, weighing about 180 pounds and standing about 5-foot-9. The victim told police that the robber wore a blue bandanna, a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants and brown boots.
