QUINCY, MASS. (WHDH) - Authorities are searching for a man who robbed a Quincy convenience store at gunpoint Sunday.

Officers responding to a reported robbery at Mullaney’s convenience store on West Squantum Street around 10 p.m. spoke with a clerk who said a man had just entered the store with a firearm and demanded money, according to police.

The suspect was able to flee the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash.
