Fresh, a specialty boutique on 35th Avenue NE, was robbed at gunpoint today at about 2:45 p.m., according to owner Wendy Schwartz.
A white male, described as about 20 years old with acne and/or possible skin sores, with a light gray sweatshirt, entered the store and told the young female clerk to give him all of the money. He then showed her a gun, said Schwartz.
The store closed immediately and police arrived shortly thereafter with a fingerprint kit.
In a side note, I (Wayne Wurzer, editor of the Wedgwood View) entered the store about 15 minutes earlier and saw a young male. I asked a question of the clerk and the young male left. After I had been gone for awhile, he returned to commit the robbery.
