A store employee told police a masked man with a handgun entered the business at about 1:30 a.m. and demanded cash. The robber apparently fled with the money through a nearby cemetery, Medford police Lt. Mike Moran said. A police dog tracked the robber northbound through the cemetery before losing the trail, Moran said. Several customers were inside the store when the reported crime occurred, Moran said. Witnesses described the robber as a white male who stands between 5 feet 8 and 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs about 150 pounds. He wore all black clothes during the robbery, including a ski mask and hooded jacket, police said. Anyone with information about the robber is asked to phone Medford police at 770-4783. The same Purple Parrot outlet was robbed in March 2003 by an armed intruder who wore black netting over his face.
