Incident Details
The Madison Police Department is asking for the public's health in identifying an armed robbery suspect.
Officers were dispatched to a convenience store along the 3800 block of E. Washington Ave. around 9:05 a.m. on Tuesday.
The man pulled out a knife and demanded money.
He left the area on a bicycle with cash and cigarettes.
A K-9 unit and drone team were brought in to help locate him.

The suspect is described as a white male, wearing all black with a red mask.
Two photos of the suspect are included in this release.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Madison Area Crime Stoppers at 608-266-6014 or online at p3tips.com. Information may be shared anonymously and information leading to an arrest could be eligible for a monetary reward. This is an ongoing investigation.
