Prior to leaving the business the subjects took the employee’s cell phone and disabled the phone in the business. The two subjects then fled the business on foot in a south westerly direction toward the Target parking lot located in the 4700 blk of S 27^th St.

The gun, money, and other items taken from the robbery were recovered.

The gas station employee received minor burns to his face from the coffee but refused medical treatment.
