Wilmington police are looking for a woman who threw coffee on a clerk early Friday morning before robbing the convenience store serving the Kangaroo Express gas station near the corner of Eastwood and Military Cutoff roads.
Police said the black female, believed to be between 25 and 35 years old, approached the clerk at The Pantry convenience store with the cup of coffee at about 1:30 a.m., appearing ready to pay for it. When the clerk opened the cash register, she threw the coffee at the clerk, burning him.
Police said she then took cash out of the register and also a box of cigarettes before leaving in a silver four-door sedan on Eastwood Road. The clerk was transported by EMS to New Hanover County Regional Medical Center for treatment.
