Authorities in Clintonville responded early Wednesday to an armed robbery at the Schroeder Shell convenience store.
A man wearing a face mask entered the store shortly after 1 a.m., displayed a large hand gun and demanded money from the clerk, the Clintonville Police Department said.
An undisclosed amount of cash was taken from the register and the suspect fled out the rear door of the business on foot.
Officers from the Marion Police Department and Waupaca County sheriff’s deputies joined Clintonville police in responding to the scene at 325 S. Main St. A search dog was also deployed in an attempt to track the suspect.
Police said security video was being obtained from the store and some items of evidence were recovered during the subsequent search of the area.
Police described the suspects as a white male, wearing a green hooded winter jacket, gloves and a camouflage face mask.
The investigation is ongoing.
