A robbery was reported at the Tobacco Hut (3500 Mount Vernon Avenue) in Arlandria.
Robbers in black puffy jackets and ski masks reportedly took around $400 from the store and implied that they had weapons, according to the police scanner.
Scanner traffic indicated the suspects left the scene in a car.
The 3500 block of Mount Vernon Avenue has seen multiple robberies in the last year, though those robberies generally favor the more lucrative Wells Fargo bank next door.
