Newport Beach police are looking for a masked gunman who robbed a 7-Eleven late Tuesday.

The robber entered the convenience store in the 1400 block of Superior Avenue just before midnight and brandished what appeared to be a handgun, police spokeswoman Jennifer Manzella said.

After the robber demanded cash, an employee behind the counter handed over an undisclosed amount of money, Manzella said.

She said the robber then fled on foot toward Placentia Avenue and 15th Street.
