West Rutland Stewart’s robbed at knifepoint

On Oct. 15 at about  10 p.m., troopers from the Vermont State Police responded to an armed robbery complaint at the Stewart’s Shop located at 116 Main St. in West Rutland.

Upon meeting with store employees and reviewing video footage, it was learned that at 9:57 p.m., a lone white male approximately 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighing approximately 200-230 pounds entered the store, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, grey sweat pants, camouflage baseball hat, and a dark face covering/mask.  The man brandished a knife and ordered the clerk to give him the money from the cash drawer.

The clerk opened the cash drawer and handed over a large sum of cash. The robber left the store and was last seen walking west on Business Route 4.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Rutland Barracks, 802-773-9101.
