Armed robbery

Austintown

A BP gas-station employee was robbed at knife point.

The man walked to the counter and brandished a knife before demanding money from the cashier, according to a police report.

The employee said he opened the register and gave the man cash. The man then fled the store and ran north through Smith Corners Cemetery near the store.
