Masked gunman robs Altadena gas station
ALTADENA -- A masked gunman held two gas station employees at gunpoint during a robbery Sunday, authorities said.
The crime was reported about 7:40 p.m. at an Arco station at Fair Oaks Avenue and Woodbury Road, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Greg Cisneros said.
The robber threatened two cashiers at the store with a black handgun and demanded money before fleeing southbound on Fair Oaks Avenue on foot, the lieutenant said.
He was described as 5 feet 10 inches tall, about 165 pound, wearing a black hooded sweat shirt and black pants, Cisneros said. Because he wore a mask, the robbers race was unknown.
Officials were reviewing surveillance footage from the store late Sunday in hopes of developing leads, he said.
