According to a police press release, the robbery was reported at 4:29 a.m. on Dec. 19 at the Valero gas station, 384 Main St., in Durham. Police said a man approached the counter, implied he had a weapon and demanded money.
The cashier gave the man an undetermined amount of cash. Police said another male entered the store who they believe to be an accomplice.

The other male was described as a light-skinned Hispanic male, about 6'1-6'2, 160-170 lbs., with a long, black-colored scruffy beard and a mustache. His hair was black and it came down to his shoulders. He was wearing two jackets and had on a pair of red-and-black plaid pajama-type pants. He also had a black skull cap with a Nike symbol on it.
