No one was hurt during the robbery, which was reported at 12:18 p.m., but the suspect eluded officers who used a police K-9 team to track him through a parking lot, onto Westland Avenue and back to Congress Street.

The robber was last seen wearing gray sweatpants, a white T-shirt, a dark-colored beanie cap with a white logo, sunglasses and a blue medical mask, according to a news release  by the Portland Police Department.

No weapon was shown, but the man kept his hand in a pocket while demanding cash and threatening the cashier.

Portland police are encouraging anyone who may have information that could lead to the apprehension of the robber to contact them at 874-8575.
