An armed robbery was reported Thursday night at a convenience store on Hwy. 51, police confirmed.

Police Chief Bobby Bell said the Brookhaven Police Department got a call Thursday at 10:31 p.m. of an armed robbery at the A-One Stop convenience store on Hwy. 51 North. The clerk said a black male came into the store, grabbed a drink and came to the counter where he asked the clerk for a pack of cigarettes. The man then asked her for money, the clerk said, and lifted his shirt up to reveal what appeared to be a gun. She gave him money and the suspect left the scene.

Bell said police were able to pull images of the suspect from  security footage.
