Police Search For Man Who Fired Gun During Robbery
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a suspect who threatened a convenience store em- ployee and fired a round in- side the business before robbing it and then fleeing. The armed robbery took place at the Shell Gas Sta- tion, 4330 Lithia Pinecrest Road, in Valrico, last Satur- day, shortly before 11 p.m.
The surveillance shows an unidentified man enter- ing the business and going behind the counter. The man grabbed a plastic container with rolled coins.
He then pointed the gun at the clerk and demanded she open the cash register. At one point, the man pointed the gun away and fired a round through a display shelf. In fear for her life, the clerk opened the cash regis- ter.
The Shell Gas Station, 4330 Lithia Pinecrest Road in Val- rico, was robbed at gunpoint.
The suspect removed an undisclosed amount of money and ran out of the store toward an unknown ve- hicle, which traveled north- bound on Lithia Pinecrest Road.
