Masked Bandit Robs Local BP

The time was 8:57 PM when a masked bandit stormed into a local BP gas station in Strongsville on November 14th.
The burglar was wearing an aqua colored ski mask when he appeared at the counter. He pulled out a gun and aimed it at Joe Smyth, an 18-year-old Senior at Brunswick, who has only been working there for a short time. “He pointed the gun at me and told me to open the register,” says Smyth, “I was so scared that he was going to kill me and I panicked.” Luckily, Joe was not hurt and will continue working there.
Jayne Dough, who was shopping alone at the time of the attack, hid behind the candy shelves. “I have seen these kinds of situations before and the proper way to handle them is to stay away and make it seem like you are not there,” Jayne noted. She was unharmed also.
The masked bandit only stole two packs of Slim-Fast and barely any cash. Apparently, the bandit was overweight and could not afford the expensive drinks.
The Chief of Police, Frank Giffendorrf, arrived on the scene moments after the bandit escaped. “I saw him speed off in a yellow Volkswagen Beetle,” comments Giffendorrf, “We did not catch him yet but we have a lot of clues and we are on the right track.”
Clearly, this is not like an ordinary robbery. Demanding money but shoplifting 12 bottles of Slim-Fast is not seen everyday. “The masked-man will be caught,” says Giffendorrf, “He will be brought to justice.” Let’s hope that he is correct.
