The Portsmouth Police Department is investigating an early morning robbery that was reported to have occurred at Super Quick Convenient Mart located at 2926 Scioto Trail. An employee of the store reported that at about 2:27 Monday morning a subject entered the store wearing a ski mask and gloves.

According to the employee the subject approached the counter and brandished a handgun and demanded the money from the cash register. The employee said she gave the suspect the money and the suspect fled from the store northbound in the direction of Coles Boulevard.

The store employee described the suspect as a very thin female between 5’4 and 5’6 tall with blue eyes. The employee said she was wearing a black hooded jacket over the ski mask.
