CANTON (CBS) -- A clerk was handcuffed during an armed robbery at a Canton convenience store Saturday afternoon, police said.
Canton Police were called to Andalus Variety Mart on Turnpike Street around 1:30 p.m. The clerk told officers that he had been robbed by two males, one of which was carrying a gun, according to the Canton Police Facebook page.
While handcuffed, the clerk managed to get to a phone and dial 911 after the suspects ran out of the store, police say.
One of the suspects is described as a light-skinned male, while the other was described as a dark-skinned male wearing dark-colored pants and dark sweatshirt.
Canton Police chief Ken Berkowitz called the suspects "dangerous" and asked the public to contact investigators if spotted. The suspects sped away in a silver BMW, police say.
