Armed robber strikes Oakwood Super Pantry

Oakwood's one and only grocery store, The Super Pantry, was robbed late Wednesday night. As Manager David Rantala was locking the store to head home for the night, an approximately 5'10" black male wearing a dark blue or black hooded windbreaker and a dirty white or tan toboggan style hat pulled over his face with eye holes cut out, forced him back inside the building at gun point. The man pointed his small caliber revolver at Rantala and demanded the money from the register. According to Chief of Police Louis Miller, Rantala reported that the man tried to disguise his voice to further foil any attempt to identify him. Rantala handed over the the clear plastic bag containing the day's register receipts and the money for the deposit. The robber left with the undetermined amount of money on foot, running behind businesses on the Northside of HWY 79.

Miller, assisted by supporting members of the Buffalo Police Department, DPS, and Leon County Sheriff's Department, searched the area, but could not locate the robber, the weapon, or the bag with the Super Pantry receipts. At this time there are no suspects.
