NORTH ADAMS - No arrests have been made yet in connection with an armed robbery that took place at the Cumberland Farms on Route 2 this weekend.
Police are keeping mum on the details of the robbery because it is still under investigation. However, Commissioner of Public Safety E. John Morocco said on Monday afternoon that he expected to release more information soon.
At approximately 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, two men wearing red scarves to disguise their faces, robbed the clerk at the gas station, getting away with an unspecified amount of cash. One of the men was brandishing a handgun, said Morocco.
The clerk was unable to further identify the individuals or indicate in what direction they were heading.
Morocco said he believed that, at the time of the robbery, the clerk was the only individual in the store.
According to the police log, the clerk's boyfriend contacted the police before the clerk reported a crime. The police log did not indicate where the boyfriend was at the time of the call.

New North Adams Restaurant Approved for Liquor License
By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A new restaurant on Main Street, a provisions shop and a convenience store all got the nod from the License Commission on Tuesday.
Siblings Colleen and Sean Taylor are expanding their cuisine empire yet again with the establishment of Main & Mill in the old TD Bank. They were before the commission to apply for an all-alcohol license.
The building is owned by Ginko on Main Street LLC, which has granted 20 years exclusive possession of the property to Latent Builds as the developer. Jack and Suzy Wadsworth, behind Ginko, are development partners with Salvatore Perry and Karla Rothstein of Latent.
The bank closed in early 2021 and purchased by Ginko late that year. Plans for the property unveiled three years ago envisioned a restaurant, retail, a park and rooftop bar.
The building's hosted some pop-up eateries and is currently under construction for the new restaurant.
Colleen Taylor said the restaurant will be open seven days a week serving lunch and dinner, and be open early for coffee.
"It's not going to be a very big restaurant. It's about the same size as Trail House, except for Trail House has a bigger patio, so about the same seating," she said.
