Clerk at Franklin Farm Sunoco robbed at knifepoint
Police are investigating a robbery at a gas station that left one man injured. On Wednesday, July 23, at 11:12 p.m., police were called to the Sunoco gas station, located at 13300 Franklin Farm Road, for a robbery.
Officers learned that the employee, a 24-year-old Annandale-area man, and a customer, a 24-year-old Herndon-area man, were both inside the store when the suspect walked in and immediately demanded money. He pushed the customer and proceeded around the counter to the clerk.
The suspect then produced a knife and shoved the employee as well. The employee struggled briefly with the suspect and was injured by the knife. The suspect took money from the register and fled out the front door.
The employee was transported to Inova Fair Oaks Hospital for treatment of his non-life-threatening injuries.
The suspect was described as black with a large build. He was about 6 feet tall and 230 pounds. He was wearing a long, white T-shirt, blue jeans and a black doo-rag that covered his hair and eyes.
