Police are looking for a man who robbed a West Central Spokane 7-11 store at toy gunpoint.

The robbery happened at the convenience store on Maple Street and Maxwell Avenue around 4 a.m. Tuesday.

According to police, the robber came into the store, pulled out what appeared to be a handgun and demanded all the money in the cash register.

The cashier obliged and then the robber ran out of the store and down Maxwell.

Officers are looking at surveillance video from the store and hope to get a description of the robber.
