Ventura County Crime Stoppers has offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a man who robbed a Newbury Park liquor store at gunpoint.
According to police, a young white male entered the Cask and Wine Shop in the 3300 block of Kimber Drive about 2 p.m. Thursday and casually walked to the back of the store.
He then approached the front counter and, brandishing a handgun, told the clerk to hand over the money from the register.
The clerk complied and the suspect fled with the beer and money.
No one was injured.
A helicopter search of the area failed to locate the suspect, who is described as in his 20s with brown hair and a medium build. Witnesses said he was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.
To report any information about the crime, call Crime Stoppers at 494-8255 or 987-8255.
