NATCHEZ — A masked man armed with a handgun reportedly robbed the Sprint Mart on Seargent S. Prentiss Drive Saturday night, making it the fifth convenience store robbed in nearly three weeks.

Natchez Police Department Detective Gerald Mooney said a man wearing a mask and gloves and armed with a handgun entered the Sprint Mart across from Merit Health Natchez at approximately 10 p.m. and demanded money. The clerk gave him an undetermined amount of cash and the suspect fled.

No arrests have been made.

The incident marks the fifth convenience store robbery in a little less than three weeks.

Kaiser’s Food and Fuel on U.S. 61 South was robbed two days later on March 2, and a few hours afterward, the Morgantown Exxon on U.S. 61 North was robbed.
