Around 1:15 this morning a male subject entered Hometown Sunoco in Swanton and robbed the cashier at gunpoint.
The man escaped on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash and items. He is described as
a white male approximately 5'8"-6'00".
There were no injuries in the robbery but the Vermont State Police is continuing to search for the suspect and follow-up on the investigation.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Vermont State Police in Saint Albans at 802-524-5993 or the Franklin County Sheriff's Office at 802-524-2121.
More information will be issued as the investigation continues.
Avoid police jargon. Instead of "a male subject," you can write "a man."
ReplyDeleteIf you mention his gender in the first sentence, and also in the second sentence, you don't have to say he is described as a "white male" in the third sentence.
You can say, He is described as white and between 5-foot-8 and 6 feet tall.
