Police are looking for a man who robbed a store in Santa Barbara Tuesday afternoon.

It happened at about 1 p.m. at a smoke shop on the 4000 block of Calle Real.

Police say a man wearing a disguise and possibly armed with a gun got away with an unknown amount of cash.

It's believed the robber ran off before possibly getting into a black Mercedes.

Police say they are conducting interviews and reviewing videos as part of the investigation.

Smoke shops are not considered an essential business under the governor's orders, according to police.
