walked outside, smoked a cigarette, and reentered the store under the guise he
was shopping.
Shortly
after the last customer left the store, the suspect approached the counter for
a carton of cigarettes. As the clerk retrieved the carton, the suspect told the
clerk he had a gun in his bag and demanded money. The clerk gave him the money

complied and the suspect fled northbound on foot on Warwick Road.
