OGDENSBURG – Ogdensburg police are seeking the public’s assistance in locating two men who reportedly robbed Nick’s Liquor Store Thursday afternoon.

Ogdensburg Police Department responded to a report of an armed robbery at Nick’s Liquor Store, 1310 Ford Street, at 6:06 p.m. Thursday.

Police say the employee who reported the robbery said two male subjects, one armed with a handgun, entered the business and demanded the money from the register.

The suspects were described as two, African-American males, who were smaller in stature, however, police say their faces were partially concealed.
