An armed robber flashed a gun at a southwest Little Rock gas station while demanding cash and cigarettes during a Thursday night holdup, police said.
Little Rock police said the gunman made off with cash and a carton of Newport cigarettes around 10:40 p.m. when he flashed a handgun inside the Murphy Express at 8800 Baseline Rd. and ordered the clerk to open the register.
The robber approached the clerk, telling him to put cash in a bag after he went around the counter demanding cigarettes, according to the police report.
While the 45-year-old clerk was putting cash in a bag, the robber "kept telling [the clerk] to calm down,” the report said.
The gunman fled in a dark, two-door Mercedes Benz with the bag of about $270 in cash and a carton of cigarettes, the report said.
Police listed a few people were at the store during the holdup. The report didn't note any injuries.
Authorities said the assailant was wearing dark clothes, but didn’t give a detailed description of him.
Officers didn’t make any arrests at the time of the report.
