The male then displayed a revolver handgun and demanded money and liquor from the store clerk, according to state police.

The suspect exited the store a minute later and fled to Witter Road before leaving the area in a midsized vehicle, state police said.

Anyone who recognizes the person seen on surveillance footage or sees the suspect in the area is asked to contact State Police Troop K at 860-465-5469.
