Armed Robbery at the "Y" Store in Merrifield

The "Y" Store on County Road #3, just north of Merrifield, was robbed at gunpoint of an undislosed amount of cash Sunday evening just before 10:00pm.  Crow Wing County Sheriff Todd Dahl reports a lone male in his late teens or early 20's, and wearing a hooded sweatshirt and ski mask, fled the scene just before deputies arrived.  A search of the area failed to turn up the suspect.  Anyone with information regarding the robbery should contact the Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office at 218-829-4749.
