Police are looking for a suspect who robbed a Bronx store last month.
Authorities say that at 7:05 p.m. on Jan. 25, an unknown man walked into a clothing store located at 2960 3rd Ave., in the Melrose section of the borough. Once inside, he tried to leave with two jackets, valued at $1,610, without paying.
