Armed robbery at Cumberland Domino's

CUMBERLAND – Detectives are searching this morning for two men who robbed the Domino’s Pizza at 250 Mendon Rd. armed with a hunting knife late last night, police detective William Wilkie said.

Although police canvassed the area in the moments after the robbery was reported, they were unable to locate the suspects, Wilkie said.

Wilkie said his department has not had any similar incidents recently, nor have they heard from surrounding departments about robberies with a hunting knife.

The manager at the small pizza delivery and pick-up location called 911 shortly after 11 p.m. last night to report the robbery, Wilkie said.

The man told the police two men in dark clothing with their faces covered – one of whom was brandishing a “large hunting knife” – walked into the building around closing time and demanded money, Wilkie said.

The business manager complied, handing the men an undetermined amount of money, Wilkie said.

The men fled on foot into the surrounding commercial area. Near the pizza business, there’s a Stop & Shop, another pizza place and a used car dealership, Wilkie said. Behind Domino’s is a wooded area and the Blackstone River, he said.

Anyone with any information about the robbery could call the police department at 333-2500 and ask to speak with detectives, Wilkie said.
