(Salem, Oregon) - The Plaid Pantry located at 1095 Edgewater St NW was robbed at gunpoint just before midnight Monday night.

The suspect was described as a white male, 20 to 25 years of age, 5'6" to 5'8", weighing approximately 170 pounds, with black or brown eyes. He was wearing a blue long sleeve sweatshirt with some kind of a white horizontal print across the chest, a grey or black checkered shirt under the sweatshirt, faded black jeans, and black shoes.

The suspect wore a white bandana with a small black pattern on it. The suspect was also wearing a black backpack. He displayed a pistol during the robbery. No one was injured in the incident and the suspect got away with only a few dollars. Police are investigating whether this is related to a robbery in Keizer minutes earlier.
