Sunday evening, Oct. 15, at about 8 p.m., Plympton officers were dispatched to Plympton Gas and Convenience, 280 Main St., for an armed robbery.
On arrival, officers learned that the male suspect had entered the store through the front door, displaying a firearm that appeared to be a handgun. The male then assaulted two employees of the business, then took cash, and exited through the rear of the store. The two employees in the store at the time of the robbery suffered minor injuries. They were both evaluated and transported to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital- Plymouth by Plympton Fire/EMS. Their names have not been released.
Plympton officers were assisted by Carver, Halifax, and Middleborough Police Departments as well as Plymouth County Sheriff’s Department and the South Eastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council Drone Unit. Officers were unable to locate the suspect in the area, as it is believed he had a vehicle parked at the rear of the business. Police believe the vehicle to be a white or silver SUV. Information obtained at the scene indicate that the suspect is approximately 5’9” – 5’10” in height, wearing jeans, white shoes, black hooded sweatshirt with a Reebok symbol on the right shoulder/arm and gloves. He was also wearing a white mask.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact Plympton Police kbrower@plymptonpd.org or to call 781-585-3339x 527.
