Police looking for armed Advance America robber

Boynton Beach police are investigating the armed robbery of a 43-year-old man Saturday morning in the parking lot of an Advance America at 4782 N. Congress Ave.
The victim told police that a man wearing a black ski mask and dark clothing jumped out of a black and tan Ford Explorer and pushed an object into his chest that was wrapped in a shirt or towel and resembled a gun. The suspect said, “give it up. I know you got it.”
