HOLYOKE -- Police are investigating a daytime robbery at T and T Mini Market, 869 Hampden St., around 1:30 p.m. Friday.
A lone assailant made off with an unspecified amount of cash after going behind the store's counter, telling a female clerk to look away, then taking money from the cash register drawer, Holyoke Police Capt. Alan G. Fletcher said Saturday.
The clerk told investigators she believed the man was armed with a gun, though she didn't see a weapon.
The man covered his face with a "black garment" and "told her not to look at him," Fletcher said, adding that the suspect then fled north on Pearl Street.
City detectives are investigating the incident, which was reported at 1:28 p.m.
