An unknown suspect robbed a University area business at gunpoint early Feb. 23 and escaped with about $150 in cash.
A man walked into Gary’s University Service on Como Avenue in southeast Minneapolis at about 6:50 a.m. The man entered the gas station and pointed at the attendant what appeared to be a gun concealed under a rag.
A video surveillance camera recorded the robbery, and Minneapolis police are looking at the tape with sophisticated equipment, said Gary Rubey, owner of the gas station.
Minneapolis police said the robbery is currently under investigation.
No one was injured in the incident.
