PINSON –Deputies from the Jefferson County sheriff’s office are searching for a young white male they believe robbed the Chevron gas station and convenience store on 7700 block of Alabama Highway 75 in Pinson, according to sergeant Jack Self.
Deputies say the man entered the store just before 5:30 a.m. on Sunday and went to the counter as if he were planning to purchase a beverage. When the cashier opened the cash register, the man produced a gun and demanded money.
“The cashier handed over the cash drawer and the suspect fled on foot with the drawer,” Self said. “No shots were fired and no one was injured in the incident.”
Deputies searched the area when they arrived on the scene, but were unable to find the suspect.
