SIMI VALLEY — An armed man robbed an Office Depot on Monday evening and fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.
The holdup occurred about 7:20 p.m. at the store at 425 Cochran St., said Simi Valley Police Lt. Andy McCluskey.
Police said the robber asked to speak with the manager. When the manager appeared, the robber pointed a handgun at the supervisor and demanded cash.
The manager retrieved money from a register, and the robber fled.
There were few customers in the store and no one was hurt, police said.
The robber was described as white, in his early 30s and about 6 feet 4 and about 180 pounds. He was wearing a blue shirt and a red baseball cap, McCluskey said.
