PORTLAND, Maine — The Cumberland Farms at 49 Pine Street was robbed on Monday, December 28 at 10:30 p.m. by two men armed with black semi-automatic handguns, according to the Portland Police Dept.
Authorities say they ran away on foot after receiving an undisclosed amount of cash.
Police say the female clerk was not injured during the robbery and there were no other customers in the store. Both suspects pointed handguns at the clerk while demanding money from the registers.
The first suspect is described as a younger-looking male with darker colored skin, possibly Hispanic, or a light-skinned black male. He was 5’8”-5’10”, 150 lbs. He was wearing a dark blue short-sleeved shirt with white stripes on the sleeves over a gray hooded sweatshirt. He was wearing a mask and had his hood pulled tight around his face.
The second suspect was described as a white male, 5’8”-5’10” and 150 lbs. He was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, gray sweatpants and had a mask with his hood pulled tight around his face.
A male driving a Chevrolet pickup was parked in the lot just as the suspects were running out of the store towards Brackett Street. It appears that this man chased the suspects as they fled from the lot. We are asking that he contact us so that we can speak with him about what he witnessed.
A K-9 from the Scarborough Police Department was used to track the suspects to the area of Pine Street and the Western Promenade before losing the scent.
