GRAND TRAVERSE COUNTY -- Witnesses say a young male suspect walked into the Walgreens on U.S. 31 wearing nylons over his head and armed with a crowbar Tuesday afternoon.

They say he walked out of the store with cigarettes and cash.

Grand Traverse County Sheriff  Deputies were quickly on the scene and with guns drawn used a tracking dog to follow a trail up a hill behind the drug store and into the woods.

The suspect is still at large tonight.

The robbery happened just after 3 O'clock and is similar to the broad daylight robbery at Gander Mountain on U.S. 31 earlier this month.

A suspect in that case has never been caught.
