Greeneville police are searching for
a razor-blade-wielding man who robbed an Asheville Highway convenience store on Monday evening and a
burglar who stole cigarettes from an East Andrew Johnson Highway tobacco outlet.
The clerk on duty at Quick Stop No. 10 at 301 Asheville Highway told
police that a man wearing camouflage pants, a green short-sleeved shirt and a camouflage-colored
ball cap entered the store about 6:55 p.m. and demanded "all her money."
The suspect, according to the police report, appeared to have a razor blade in one of
his hands and wore a shirt that had the number 31 on its back.
After
taking an undetermined amount of money from the clerk the suspect fled on foot toward the former
Hurdy Gurdy video rental store.
Monday's robbery was at least the
third convenience store robbery in Greeneville this year.

and found the glass broken from the front door.
