Seattle Police responded to an armed robbery where a man was held at gunpoint for money in the 3200 block of 20th Avenue West near Magnolia neighborhood.
Just after 01:30 a.m., officers contacted the 24-year-old male victim, an employee of the business, who reported an armed man entered the store. The male suspect pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the victim while demanding he give him money. The victim had no money so the suspect removed the money from the register.
Officers and Seattle Police K9 searched the area for the suspect, who fled on foot heading northbound on West Dravus Street, but did not locate him.
The victim was not injured during this incident. However, reported the business had been robbed earlier this week.
Robbery Detectives continue to investigate this case.
