Masked Gunmen Target Buckley Line Gas Station in Friday Afternoon Robbery

Two masked gunmen made off with cash and lottery tickets after targeting the Buckley Line Gas Station on All Saints Road in a brazen Friday afternoon robbery.

The incident unfolded at around 4 p.m. on September 4, when the two men reportedly approached the business on foot, both carrying firearms.

One of the men, armed with a handgun, went inside the gas station and stole an undisclosed amount of money along with lottery tickets.

His accomplice, who was carrying a long gun, remained outside, where he held a pump attendant at gunpoint and took a money bag containing an undisclosed sum of cash.

The pair then ran from the scene, and police said one shot was fired as they fled.

They later made their getaway in a dark purple Toyota Ractis. The registration number of the vehicle remains unknown.

Police officers who responded to the scene recovered one spent shell as part of their investigation.

No injuries were reported in connection with the incident.

Police are now trying to identify and locate the two suspects and are appealing to anyone who may have information about the robbery or the getaway vehicle to come forward.

Anyone who can assist is asked to contact the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913 or 462-3914, or Crimestoppers anonymously at 800-TIPS (8477).

Investigations are continuing.
