NEW CASTLE —
New Castle police are looking for the man who robbed a Dollar General clerk at knifepoint.
Police said a man walked into the store at 1555 Butler Ave. around 8 p.m. Friday and held a knife to the cashier’s neck.
She told police she had been standing at the counter when the man approached her with the knife and told her to give him money from the register. She said she tried to open one of the registers, but it would not open, so she went to a second one, pulled the drawer out and put it in front of the man.
Police said he took about $168 from it, along with a pack of cigarettes the clerk had taken out of her pocket, then left.
