Alexandria Police are still searching for a man who robbed the CVS at gunpoint just before midnight on Saturday, Jan. 23.

The store is open 24 hours, and a man brandished a handgun during the robbery. No one was injured and an undisclosed amount of cash was stolen from a register.

“Currently, there are no arrests made related to this incident,” Alexandria Police spokesman Marcel Bassett told ALXnow. “We believe there was one suspect working alone in this incident but it is an open investigation and we do not limit ourselves until an investigation is complete.”

Police did not provide a suspect description.
