Just before 8:30 p.m., a black man with a camouflage scarf hiding most of his face demanded cash from a clerk at O'Reilly Auto Parts at 3125 Vineville Ave., according to a news release from the Bibb County Sheriff's Office.

An employee opened the register, and the robber grabbed money and ran out in an unknown direction.

He was about 5 feet 5 inches tall with a husky build. He was wearing sunglasses and a gray hooded sweatshirt.
