A store security camera took a picture of the man who committed an armed robbery at the Checkout Convenience Store on Kuhio Avenue.   Police released this sketch of the robber.

Police are investigating the possibility the Dec. 26 armed robbery of Kalapawai Market in Kailua was committed by the same man.

No one was injured in today's 12:48 a.m. robbery at the Checkout Convenience Store at 2463 Kuhio Ave.

Police said the man entered the convenience store and demanded money from a female cashier. The robber fired a shot in the air when the woman could not open the register. She then opened a second register and the man fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.

On his way out, he allegedly threatened five adults and fired five shots into the air. One of the rounds shattered a sliding door of a 26th-floor unit at the Pacific Monarch hotel at 2427 Kuhio Ave.
