A man got away with an undisclosed amount of cash after he robbed Ankeny’s Mini Mart No. 4 with a hunting knife Thursday morning.
Officers responded to a report of an active burglary at Ankeny’s, 902 12th St. SW, at about 8:45 a.m. just south of the fairgrounds, according to Austin Police Chief Brian Krueger.
The employee at the store said a male wearing a white and black camouflage hooded sweatshirt and a red ski mask covering his nose and mouth demanded cash.
He had a black handled and black bladed hunting style knife. The employee saw he was white after seeing around his eyes through the mask.
The man left with the cash, heading westbound on foot. Nobody was injured.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information can contact law enforcement through the online Tip411 site or by calling 437-9400.
