The public’s assistance is being sought to identify a man police say stole $300 in cash from the register of a local store.

According to Cranston Police, the man entered the Dollar General location on Broad Street at approximately 11:30 p.m. on April 5 and walked to the register as if to make a purchase. When the clerk opened the register, police say, the man reached over the counter and grabbed cash before fleeing the scene on foot heading toward Providence.

Anyone with information regarding the man’s identity is asked to contact Detective Joseph Hopkins at 477-5065. Police say tips may also be submitted through the department’s website, cranstonpoliceri.com, or by calling its main line at 942-2211.
