Police in Belmont released security camera video of an armed robbery at a doughnut shop early Monday morning.
At about 4:40 a.m., a man armed with a handgun walked into Chuck's Donuts in the 600 block of Ralston Avenue and demanded money from the cash register, police said. The video shows him wearing a mask over his face and pointing a gun at a clerk as she empties the cash register.
The suspect is described as a male, about 6 feet tall, with a husky build and a medium complexion, wearing a white "Star Wars" character mask. He also wore a light blue baseball cap with a dark bill and what appears to be a "Cal" logo on the front, along with a green sweatshirt, blue jeans and black and white Vans shoes, police said.
The suspect was carrying a black semi-automatic handgun, police said.
Anyone with information about the crime or suspect is asked to contact the Belmont Police Department at 650-595-7400 or police@belmont.gov.
