Store clerk threatened during armed robbery

A suspect armed with a knife threatened a clerk at Downtown Grocery and Cafe and robbed the store, according to police.

The man entered the store at 32 N. Main St. in Dayton, got items from the back of the store, then went to the register where he threatened the clerk.

Police said the suspect held the clerk and asked her to open the register. After failed attempts, he released the clerk and opened it himself, grabbing money from inside.

The suspect fled with approximately $103, police said.

The clerk had a minor injury. Police are working to identify the suspect via surveillance video.
