Police are investigating an armed robbery that took place at a Paso Robles CVS store Tuesday night.
Officers were called to 187 Niblick Rd. at 9:45 p.m. for reports of a robbery in progress.
Witnesses told police that a man dressed in all black and wearing a black ski mask entered the store and threatened a cashier with a knife.

When police arrived, they escorted customers and employees out of harm’s way.
Police then searched the building but could not find the suspect. A later investigation found that the suspect fled out a rear exit door before police arrived.
The investigation into the armed robbery is ongoing.
