Police Seek Suspect in Gas Station Robbery

Elk Grove police are looking for a man they say stole an undisclosed amount of money from the Chevron station on Laguna Blvd early last Wednesday morning, after telling the clerk there he had a gun under his jacket.

The portly suspect, wearing plaid pajama pants and an orange shirt, was caught on camera smilingly accepting a fistful of cash from the station clerk before fleeing on foot.

Police describe him as a mustached African-American man between the ages of 30 and 35, standing about 5'7" and weighing 240 pounds.

Anyone with information about this suspect or the robbery can call the Elk Grove Police Department at (916) 478-8060 or Crime Alert at (916) 443-HELP (4357).
