Allegheny County police are looking for the masked man authorities said robbed a Dunkin' Donuts in Verona at gunpoint this morning.

Borough police Chief Ron McLemore said a man entered the shop on Allegheny River Boulevard about 6:40 a.m. carrying a handgun and demanded cash from three female employees.

The man said "just basically 'Get down and give me the money,'" Chief McLemore said. "He was in and out in several seconds. It was really quick."

No one was injured.

The employees described the man as black, about 5-foot-3, calm and soft spoken. Surveillance video at the store also captured images that support their observations, Chief McLemore said, adding that the women thought the man might be young, but that could be because of his height.

The man, who wore a hood, black ski mask and gloves, left with a small amount of cash, Chief McLemore said.

Police believe he left on foot.
