Alexandria Police are seeking the public’s help in identifying the suspects involved in the robbery of the 7-Eleven, located at 4610 Kenmore Avenue.  On Tuesday, October 30, at 3:17 a.m., two suspects entered the business.  One of them jumped over the counter while the other one went around the counter and grabbed the clerk.  That suspect displayed a handgun and held the clerk while the other suspect went for the cash register.  The suspects then pushed the clerk to the ground before running out of the store.  The clerk was not seriously injured.
