The Carroll County Sheriff's Office is looking for a man who robbed a produce stand in Westminster at gunpoint Saturday afternoon. 

At approximately 1:20 p.m., Sheriff's Deputies responded to reports of a robbery at Kern's Produce located alongside the 400 block of Westbound East Main Street. 

A lone Kern’s Produce employee selling produce from the rear of his pick-up truck, was seated in the cab taking a break between customers when a man pressed a handgun against the employee's neck and demanded money, according to the Sheriff's Office.

The suspect fled the scene on foot toward Fair Avenue with an undisclosed amount of money. Following the incident, a dark colored, late model Ford Econoline Van was observed leaving the area quickly by witnesses.

The man is described as approximately 6 feet tall white male, with short dark hair and a scar on his right cheek. He was wearing sunglasses, and a dark colored t-shirt and sweat pants, according to a press release from the Carroll County Sheriff's Office. 

No one was injured during the robbery. The suspect remains at large.
