A male and female, both wearing orange jack-o’-lantern type masks and brandishing guns, held up a gas station on the west end of town late Sunday night and made off with an undisclosed amount of cash, police say.
The robbery in the 2100 block of West Sixth Street was reported just before 10:30 p.m., according to logs from The Dalles Police Department.
One robber had a shotgun and the other had a handgun. The male did the talking and made the victims – three employees of the gas station, two females and one male – lay on the ground, according to the log. There were no customers in the store at the time.
Police advised area restaurants and a local motel of the suspect descriptions. The motel had possible video of two males that entered the motel at about 10 p.m. Sunday. Police on Monday morning were waiting for the video to be made available.
An investigation is ongoing, said Det. Sgt. Doug Kramer. He asked that anyone with information call the police at 541-296-2613.
