Teens Sought In Store Robbery

Sat., July 22, 2000

Three teenagers allegedly robbed a convenience store early Wednesday morning.

A clerk at the 7-Eleven Food Store at 722 N. Park Rd. told Sheriff’s deputies the teens entered the store around 1 a.m. Wednesday. They tried to buy beer. The clerk asked to see identification, according to the Sheriff’s office report.

One teen began scuffling with the clerk while the other two took 4 or 5 six-packs of Doc Otis, an alcoholic hard lemonade drink. Each six-pack sold for $6.99. The clerk’s car keys were also taken, but the car was not stolen.

The three teen suspects were described as 16 or 17 years old. All three had brown hair.

Anyone with information should call Crime Check at 456-2233.
