Hancock County sheriff's deputies are searching for a suspect in an armed robbery Sunday night at the Kiln Tobacco store on Mississippi 603, Chief Deputy Don Bass said Monday.
The robbery occurred around 8 p.m. when a man walked inside the store armed with a firearm and demanding money.
The suspect ordered the store clerk to lay on the floor during the robbery, Bass said, and left the store with an undisclosed amount of cash. No one other than the clerk was inside at the time of the heist.
The suspect was last seen leaving the store's parking lot in a white passenger car, possibly a Toyota, that appeared to have damage.
