Wilson Farms customer robs store on Parkside

A robber purchased candy from the Wilson Farms at 281 Parkside Ave. early Wednesday before robbing the store, Buffalo police said.

The bandit bought candy before forcing a clerk to surrender cash from the register at about 6:45 a. m., police said. Although the bandit said he had a gun, he didn’t display one, police said.

The robber was described as white, 5-foot-9, thin, clean-shaven with a pale complexion, dark hair and an earring and wearing a dark blue Buffalo Sabres hooded sweat shirt with a tan and blue Starter jacket and jeans. He fled south on Parkside Avenue toward Jewett Parkway.

Police said a package of cupcakes touched by the suspect is being examined for evidence. Anyone with information is asked to contact Northwest District police at 851-4413.
