The man who robbed Arnold’s supermarket on Monday night had a missing front tooth, the store’s owner has revealed to The Royal Gazette.

The incident, which took place shortly before 9.15pm, saw the assailant forcefully gain access to the cash register while a cashier was completing a transaction. After grabbing an undisclosed sum of cash, the unarmed robber fled from the store on St John’s Road, Pembroke — although it is not clear whether he was on foot or in a vehicle.

As well as having a missing front tooth, the suspect is described as tall and brown, wearing a green tracksuit. Frank Arnold, who was away from the store when the robbery occurred, called the incident “unfortunate”.

He added: “The staff are shaken up and mad with the situation. It’s lucky nobody got hurt.”

Anyone with information is urged to call the Bermuda Police Service on 295-0011.
