Police are searching for a man who robbed the Shell gas station on Logan Way with a gun at his side at about 7 a.m. Sunday. An undetermined amount of money was taken.

A Shell employee told police that a black man in his mid-30 wearing a plaid jacket over a hooded jacket walked around the counter and told the employee to open the safe while holding the gun at his side, saying, ‘I am not playing.’

The employee opened the safe and the man loaded money into a gray bag, the report said.
