Cranston Police are seeking a suspect in a knifepoint robbery that occurred at a gas station in Edgewood on Tuesday afternoon.

The suspect – described as a male standing approximately 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighing 115 to 120 pounds – is said to have entered the Gulf Express at 2148 Broad St. while wearing a blue, hooded Abercrombie and Fitch sweatshirt and a white baseball cap. The man’s sweatshirt was pulled up over his head and he covered his face with a white bandana or handkerchief, according to police.

“The suspect entered from the Commercial Street area and brandished a knife to the clerk,” reads a statement from police. “After exiting the store with cash he ran in the same direction he came in.”
