The Cary Police Department is searching for a man armed with a handgun who robbed a 7-Eleven store in Cary early Tuesday morning.
Cary Police Chief Patrick Finlon said that officers were called to the 7-Eleven, 296 Cary Algonquin Road in Cary just after 2 a.m. Tuesday for a report of an armed robbery.
Finlon said that police reviewed the surveillance footage inside the store and said that a suspect displayed a silver handgun and demanded money from the clerk. The clerk complied and gave him the money from the cash register.

Police said the man was around 5-foot-6, wearing a black leather jacket, grey sweatpants, grey shoes and square dark frame glasses.
He had black dot tattoos or circular dermal piercings on each side of his chin, police added. No one was injured during the robbery and the investigation is ongoing by the Cary Police Department.
