Olympia police investigating armed robbery on Pacific Avenue
An armed man robbed a gas station convenience store early Thursday, according to Olympia police.
About 4:50 a.m., police were dispatched to the 3200 block of Pacific Avenue Southeast. A store employee told police that the man entered the business with a handgun and stole money from the cash register.
He then left the store and got into a car across from the business on Pacific Avenue. He was last seen headed north on I-5, Lt. Paul Lower said.
The man is described as white or Hispanic, 5-foot-5 and he was wearing a black jacket and black hat. The only vehicle description is “dark-colored car,” Lower said.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Olympia police at 360-753-8300.
The gas station and store opened in March.
