Jackson police seek witness to robbery attempt

Jackson police want to contact the driver of a white pickup truck seen in the parking lot Tuesday night around the time of an attempted robbery at the Save-A-Lot, 1905 E. Jackson Blvd.

Capt. Robert Bonney said the driver of the pickup is not a suspect in the holdup, but a possible witness. The truck was behind the vehicle the masked robber was in as he was leaving.

Bonney said Jackson police would like to talk to the driver of the vehicle in case he remembers anything about the suspect or the suspect's vehicle.

The incident occurred around 8 p.m. Tuesday when a man in a black sweat shirt and a green Halloween mask walked in as the store was closing. A store employee alerted the manager via the intercom and the suspected robber fled the scene without any money.
