Bandits leave gun, car after gas station robbery

Three suspects in a gas station robbery in St Augustine were forced to leave their gun and getaway car behind as police chased them after a shoot-out. Around midnight on August 8, an employee at the Unipet gas station in St Augustine was at the cash register when two men entered the store and announced a robbery. The bandits then robbed the store, stealing bottles of alcohol and approximately $8,000 cash. They also robbed the security guard, taking his Samsung cell phone and robbed a customer in the store of $400 cash. Members of the public who observed what was taking place reported the robbery to the police who arrived in time to see the suspects leaving the store.
