12:18 AM: Police are converging on the Admiral Way 7-Eleven after two men are reported to have robbed the store a short time ago. So far they are described as both Black, in their mid-20s, about 5’6″, one in a red mask and black T-shirt, armed with a black handgun, the other in dark clothing and unarmed. They are reported to have gotten away in a car only described as a “silver sedan.”
12:42 AM: Officers have just given dispatch an updated description of the getaway car: Now it’s described as a newer 4-door blue Hyundai.
ADDED SATURDAY: We’ve obtained the police-report narrative, which adds that the till taken by the robbers was discovered by officers heading back toward the precinct, dumped on the side of the Admiral Way hill (3000 block). As for the holdup, the clerk told police that “he was near the back of the store when he was surprised by the two (robbers …one who) was wearing a red scarf covering his head and face pulled out a gun … then proceeded to tell (the clerk) to open the register while pointing the gun to his right side … (the clerk) opened the cash register and the suspect grabbed approximately 500$ from the till … (the other was) holding the door halfway open … (the robber with the gun) grabbed the register till and ran toward … a parked vehicle in front of the 7-11.” The description of the car is redacted, so we don’t know if there’s anything beyond what’s in our original update.
