According to a news release posted on the City of Austin’s official website, the Austin Police Department (APD) is aggressively seeking public cooperation in order to quickly bring to an end a robbery that occurred at Rutland Market on the evening of October 29. At around 10:20 p.m., the suspect—a Caucasian man who is thought to be between 45 and 50 years old—started what appeared to be a routine transaction before brandishing a black revolver and demanding money from an employee. He wore black gloves, black jeans, a black hoodie, and a black balaclava mask. According to the APD, he was between 5′ 8″ and 5′ 10″ tall, skinny, and might have had a fleeting appearance.
