Police said around 4:30 p.m. Monday, a suspect entered the Middletown Package Store on 417 Middletown Avenue, rushed the clerk and demanded money from the register.

The suspect is described as male, 5-foot-8, about 150 pounds, wearing a white shirt with a Rings End logo on it, a red cap, dark-colored pants and brown work boots. He wore some kind of eyeglasses and his hair was either braided or in dreadlocks.
