Police Seek Suspect in Armed Robbery

WINCHESTER –  Detectives are hoping the public can help identify the suspect in an armed robbery that occurred on December 10, 2016. Around 6:00 p.m., a man wearing a camouflage ski mask entered the Stop and Shop, located at 601 Berryville Ave.  He displayed a handgun and demanded money from the cash registers.

Although the male’s face was covered by a mask, detectives hope someone can help identify the suspect from his build and clothing in the surveillance pictures.

The suspect is believed to be a white male.  He was wearing a camouflage ski mask, black jacket, blue jeans, black gloves and white sneakers.  Witnesses described the man as having a deep voice.

Anyone with information regarding a suspect in this case is asked to contact the Winchester Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division at (540) 545-4704, or Crime Solvers at (540) 665‑TIPS (8477). Information leading to the arrest of a suspect may result in a reward of up to $1,000.
