An armed man wearing a mask and sunglasses robbed a Sebastopol convenience store early Monday while threatening a clerk with a gun, according to Sebastopol police.

The man entered the 7-Eleven store on Pleasant Hill North about 1:30 a.m., brandished a handgun wrapped in a white cloth and demanded the clerk give him money from the cash drawer, Sgt. Dave Harston said in a news release.

The robber took the money and some items and left on foot. Police searched the area near Highway 12 and didn’t him.

He was wearing a dark green hooded sweatshirt with a camouflage or tree pattern. He also wore gray sweatpants, gray shoes, black gloves, a full face black mask and glasses.

Harston asked anyone with information to contact Officer Bauer at 707-829-4400.
