COLUMBIA — A man robbed the Grindstone Liquor and Cstore at gunpoint Wednesday night, according to a news release from the Columbia Police Department.

At approximately 11 p.m. the man entered the convenience store, located at 2513 S. Old 63, and pointed a black handgun at a 22-year-old employee and demanded money, according to the news release. The man then left the store on foot with an undisclosed amount of the store's money before police arrived. Two customers were in the store at the time of the robbery, and no one was injured, the release says.

A police K-9 unit tracked a path to the Tiger Car Wash at 2711 S. Old 63, where police found a camouflage bandanna, matching a description of one the man was wearing.
