Boston Police are looking for a gunman they say held up Stonybrook Wine and Spirits on Tuesday night - and his getaway driver.
Police say a worker at the 80 Boylston St. store was standing outside around 9:40 p.m., when a light-complexioned black man with a "distinct 3-inch scar on his left cheek" approached and pointed a black gun at him.
The gunman ordered him back in the store and told him to empty the cash register. When he spotted a second worker, he ordered him behind the counter as well, police say - giving the first worker enough time to push a silent alarm.
Prior to police arrival the suspect fled with about $600 cash. A review of the cameras revealed a second suspect standby around the corner and a mini van or sport utility vehicle used in the getaway.
