A robber struck a Royal Farms in Fells Point on Sunday night, leaving with a peculiar payday that only a sweet tooth could covet.

The man, described as a black man in his 40s with a light beard, about 5 feet 10 and 170 pounds, wearing a red jacket with white lettering over a black hooded sweat shirt, entered the convenience store sometime before 7:43 p.m., police said.

He walked down the candy aisle, pulled out a bag and began sticking boxes of candy into the bag, police said. A clerk asked the man whether he was stealing the candy.

The answer came back: Yes.
