Northville Township police have launched a dragnet for a masked man with a sawed-off shotgun who robbed a CVS store Tuesday night.

Police reports say at about 8:30 p.m. a lone gunman wearing all black and a white ski mask rushed the door of the CVS store at 6 Mile and Haggerty road and pointed a long gun at the back of the clerk, demanding money from the cash register- to the horror of a mother and child waiting in line. Two other workers who were in the store at the time observed the man who then ran out the door with cash to a silver four-door Dodge Daytona with a black racing stripe down the middle hood. There were no injuries reported.

Northville Township Public Safety Director Todd Mutchler said detectives are reviewing surveillance videos and are aware of other recent robberies of area pharmacies and checking past incidents to see if the suspect has the same method of operation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Northville Township Police.
