The Greene County Sheriff’s Department is searching for the assailant who robbed a local convenience store at gunpoint late Tuesday.

The report from Sheriff Wesley Holt’s office said the incident took place around 10 a.m. at Creekside Market on Asheville Highway. The gunman reportedly ordered employees to lock the door and turn out the lights while an undetermined amount of cash was taken.

The employees were then ordered into a cooler by the lone suspect who then fled the location.
