A cellphone store in Brooklyn Park was robbed at gunpoint Tuesday afternoon, Anne Arundel County Police said.

Officers responded to the Metro PCS store at 5620 Ritchie Highway South. A man entered the store with a handgun, pointed it at a clerk and demanded money, police said. The employee complied and the suspect left the store through the back of the building, taking off on foot into the neighborhood.
