The Elk Grove Police Department is asking for the public's help in solving a Monday night robbery at a Chevron gas station on Taron Drive.

A man who police describe as Caucasian and in his twenties entered the station and demanded money from an employee. He was holding his hand under his shirt as if he had a gun, according to police.
