Didn't he get away with any gas?

Gotta get the cigarettes. The cash was an added bonus. He's a smooth criminal who dresses to match when robbing convenient stores.

It would be nice if you all gave a description. On the radio, the man was ID'd as being Hispanic. Please divulge all details when reporting.
