AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Amarillo Police Department is looking for an armed robbery suspect.
Police officers were called to the ClearTalk Wireless store at 815 Martin Road at 9:30 a.m. Saturday morning.
Upon arrival officers said an employee there told them she was vacuuming the sales floor when a black male entered the store through the front doors behind her.
When she turned to greet the customer, she says the male pulled a black semi-automatic handgun from his waist and pointed it at her and demanded money. Police say the suspect then put the gun to her head and walked her to the backroom where the store safe is located.
