On July 22nd, at approximately 6:45 p.m., North Precinct officers responded to a report of an armed robbery at a gas station in the 5700 Block of 15th Avenue NW.

The suspect, described as a white male, 30-35 years old, with close-cropped light brown or reddish hair and goatee, wearing a white long sleeved shirt and black pants, fled the store carrying cigarettes and beer.

When the clerk gave chase the suspect pulled out a black handgun and pointed at the clerk. The employee ran back to the store to call 911.

It is possible that the suspect may have fled the area as a passenger in a red 1990s Ford Windstar van. Officers conducted an area check but did not locate the suspect.
