Deputies are looking for a fairly small young man who wore a red bandana over his face when he robbed a gas station next to Interstate 5 at the Vader exit last night.
The armed individual got away with about $320, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.
Law enforcement responding to the 8:30 p.m. call were told by the 26-year-old woman she was working when he walked into the store, displayed a pistol and demanded cash, according to the sheriff’s office.
The Cowlitz Shell station is on the 100 block of Mulford Road, Toledo.
He left on foot to the east, but it’s possible he got into a vehicle before deputies arrived, Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown said.
The clerk, a Vader resident, was uninjured, Brown said.
Containment was set up around the area and a police dog deployed, but no suspect as located, according to Brown.
The robber was described as brown-haired and brown-eyed and about 20 years old. He was about 5 feet 6 inches tall weighing approximately 150 pounds, she said.
He wore all dark clothing.
Chief Brown asks anyone who may have information to please contact the sheriff’s office or Lewis County Crime Stoppers.
