The Vigo County Sheriff’s Office is seeking information regarding a suspect wanted in connection to a convenience store armed robbery on Terre Haute's north side last night.

Deputies responded to the Jiffy Mart gas station, located at 5083 N. Lafayette Street, on the report of the armed robbery just before 8 p.m.

"A female employee advised that a white male had entered the store armed with a knife and demanded money and cigarettes. The employee complied and the robber fled on foot prior to the deputy’s arrival," Chief Deputy John Moats said.

The suspect is described as a white male, between 5- feet, 6-inches and 5-feet, 7-inches tall. He was last seen wearing black pants, a black leather jacket, green hoodie, blue Indianapolis Colts gloves and a black winter mask.

If anyone has information on this crime they are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 812-238-STOP.
