EVERETT – Police are looking for an espresso stand bandit with distinctive black teeth.

Everett police major crime detectives are investigating the April 11 robbery of a coffee stand in the 4100 block of Hoyt Avenue, Sgt. Robert Goetz said.

A man reportedly walked up to the drive-up stand around 5:40 a.m. and ordered a drink. When the barista turned around, the man pointed a gun at her and demanded money.

The man is described as Hispanic with light skin, in his mid 20s, about 5-foot-6, weighing about 120 pounds. He has distinctive black lower teeth. At the time of the hold up, the man was wearing a black pin-striped hooded sweatshirt and black bandana.
