Police are on the scene of an armed robbery on the east end of Huntington Friday evening.

Dispatchers say it happened just before 5pm at the Dollar General on 5th Avenue.

We're told a man walked in, demanded money, and took off. It's not clear whether or not he had a weapon.

The suspect is described as a white male. He was wearing a white cap, black fleece jacket, blue jeans, and a black scarf over his face.

Meanwhile, police are still searching for the man who held up Payless Shoe Store located on Route 60 in Huntington Thursday evening. The suspect in that robbery is described as a white, middle aged man who was wearing a ski mask.

No arrest has been made in either of these robberies.

Stay tuned to Eyewitness News for the latest on this developing story.
