BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston police are looking for the public’s help in identifying a person of interest in their investigation of a convenience store robbery in Dorchester last week.

The suspect was described as a younger dark-skinned black man with a beard. He was last seen wearing a black hat, a black T-shirt over a white T-shirt and black pants.

Detectives released three photos of the person of interest Wednesday, adding that he is not wanted at this time.
