Farm Store Robbed at Gunpoint

The Farm Store on the 4000-block of Wilkens Avenue was robbed at gunpoint Thursday afternoon, the fourth time the convenience store has been hit since December despite increased security measures.

At around 2:30 p.m. Thursday, two black males entered the store. One of the suspects pointed a rifle at employees while the other took money from the register. Both suspects fled on foot.

One of the suspects was described as six feet tall, wearing a black hooded jacket, dark jeans, black mask and white gloves. The other suspect was described as 5 feet, 6 inches tall, wearing a blue jacket, jeans, black mask and balck gloves.

The Farm Store on Wilkens has enhanced security in recent months, including locking the door at night and serving customers through a window. According to police, the store has been robbed four times since last December.
