WMUR, Police in Dover, they hope new clues that could help catch an armed robber who wore a clown mask.

Dover police said a gunman wearing a clown mask entered a Shell station on Silver Street on Monday morning and demanded cash.

“He had a handgun at the clerk and demanded cash and provided the money,” said Lt. Bill Breault. “He left with the money.”

Police said the man weighs about 200 pounds and is 5 feet 9 inches or 5 feet 10 inches tall. He wore blue jeans, a black jacket Carhartt style and black gloves.

Detectives said they believe that man is bound to a newer model Toyota Corolla captured on security video in the region.

“There is a spoiler on the back,” said Breault. “Whether or not after market, we really can not tell from the video. And there is also an antenna on the roof.”

Police said the robber left the Shell station and crossed the parking lot of a convenience store nearby, ending up on a vacant campus. They said that’s where they believe he got into the vehicle.

Investigators said there were several cameras pointed in that area.

Police are also investigating another armed robbery at the same station in November and trying to determine whether the two incidents are linked.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crimeline at 603-749-6000 Dover.

Wcsh6, Demand is high, supply is low. We hear a lot about the Blood of Maine. But hospitals Maine through about 300 gallons of blood every day. Snowstorm this week, and flu season has prevented people from giving.

Therefore WCSH6 teamed with the Red Cross for blood collection, which established a new record for collecting the most important day ever in Maine. 592 pints. 231 to 361 to Bangor and Portland.

If you were unable to attend the blood drive today, there are many other opportunities to give in January, which is National Blood Donor Month. Dunkin Donuts offers a free pound of coffee to those who give. Call or visit 1-800-RED-CROSS redcrossblood.org to know when and where you can give.

CHANNEL 5 BOSTON, Meteorologists, based in Boston had a shaky start this winter misses the first significant snowfall of the season. We have been lulled into a false sense of security when forecasters predicted snowstorm was going to sea and we could get a dusting, if any. To our surprise, we woke up Monday morning to more than a dusting of snow and as the day progressed, the deteriorating conditions on the South Shore, more than eight inches of snow piled up. This gaffe forecast to wonder which is the most trusted meteorologist was in the Boston area. The survey revealed that it was Harvey Leonardo WVCB, Channel 5, with 19.4 percent of the vote. Barry Burbank WBZ was second (13.9 percent), followed by Pete Bouchard of Channel 7. 25 Kevin Fox Lemanowicz finished fourth with 5.5 percent. Interestingly, the other choices in the poll and received votes. In fact, 13.9 percent chose “other sources not included in the survey” and a whopping 28 percent said they did not trust anyone. Predicting the weather is indeed a concert difficult in New England.

Most recently, a survey was posted on the blog get readers’ comments on what should get the U.S. Congress; the shoe looks like Massachusetts to redistricting after the 2010 Census of the United States. There are currently 10 member of Congress from Massachusetts, and this number will decrease to nine. Longtime Congressman Barney Frank was the overwhelming favorite to lose his seat with 66.7 percent of the vote. William Keating, newly elected to represent the 10th Congressional District, was second with 23.5 percent of the vote. Clearly these two were the best choices by readers.
