PAWTUCKET -- The police say they are looking for a young woman who walked into Gee's Liquor Store on Broadway and robbed the owner at knife point yesterday afternoon.

The incident occurred at 4 p.m. A slim, blond woman in her 20s walked into the liquor store, went behind the counter and pulled a kitchen knife on the owner and demanded money, according to Detective Donti Rosciti. The owner was unhurt and there was no one else in the store at the time, he said.

The woman made off with about $300, he said. She ran into a dark four-door vehicle and fled southbound on Broadway.
