BALDWIN PARK — A man used a handgun to rob a gas station early Friday, police said.
The crime was reported about 9:15 a.m. at an Arco station at Francisquito Avenue and Ramona Boulevard, Baldwin Park police Sgt. Doug Parnell said.
A black man in his early 20s, wearing blue jeans and a gray hooded sweat shirt, entered the store and acted as if he was going to make a purchase, the sergeant said.
The robber then pulled a large-caliber, semi-automatic handgun and demanded cash from the clerk, Parnell said.
A delivery man inside the store was ordered at gun point to lie down, he added.
After obtaining an unknown amount of cash, the robber was last seen leaving the store.
Police were working to obtain surveillance footage of the crime in hopes it would yield clues.
