BURLEY — The Cassia County Sheriff’s Office is looking for an armed suspect who robbed a Burley convenience store Saturday at gunpoint.

About 3:30 a.m., a suspect wearing a mask made out of a shirt with holes cut out for the eyes went into the Mr. Gas convenience store with a semi-automatic rifle and demanded money, Cassia County Undersheriff George Warrell said.

The robber left the store at 855 Overland Ave. with an undisclosed amount of money.

The suspect was described at being 5’10” to 6’ tall and weighing 185 to 200 pounds.

The clerk was not injured.

“We are following up on leads and actively investigating the case,” he said.

The sheriff’s office did not release any further information at this time.

Anyone with information on the robbery should call the Cassia County Sheriff’s Office at 208-878-2251.
