MIAMISBURG -- A man armed with a gun holds up a Shell station this morning. It happened just after 3:00 on Byers Road.
He was seen pacing near a storage bin right before the robbery. He was dressed in all black with his T-shirt covering his face. He demanded money from the clerk. In that video you can see he's wearing one glove and he touches the door with the hand that doesn't have a glove, so police may be able to get some fingerprints.
This robbery only lasted a few seconds. We spoke to the store owner and he says the clerk did the right thing.
After the robbery the suspect was seen running toward the Knights Inn. A K-9 was brought in to track him.
The trail ended at a room near the far end of the motel, however, the room was empty when police searched.
Police continue to talk to witnesses and review the surveillance video.
