Surveillance photos released in Shell gas station robbery in Ann Arbor
By Lee Higgins
Ann Arbor police released surveillance photos this afternoon of two men who robbed a Shell gas station at gunpoint early Sunday.
The men walked into the station's convenience store at 2500 Jackson Ave. at 1:47 a.m. and one of them pulled a handgun and demanded money from a 40-year-old male clerk, police said.
Both men, who were wearing masks, were described as black, 5 feet, 7 inches tall, in their late teens to early 20s and thin. One was wearing all black clothing, police said. The other was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and what appeared to be a white knit hat.
Anyone with information can call Det. Gerry Tacey at (734) 794-6930, ext. 49319 or the police department's tip line at (734) 794-6939.

Forget concealed carry that requires $150-300 open carry costs nothing

Yeah, but they'd think twice about robbing a guy with a 9mm or a .44 mag on his hip.

Two words....concealed carry. Send a message to the thugs, you threaten life, you lose yours. But, alas, this post will be censored.

Nope, you're right. If there'd been a shotgun behind the counter, as there should be at every late-night store in existence, that sleazy little chrome auto wouldn't have intimidated anyone, nor would the clerk have been "assaulted."

Third armed robbery this year on Stadium Blvd. First it was one now two, they are getting bolder and more agressive. It will not belong before they hit in day light.

IF they are black, why do their hands look white in the photo?

How did they get in? This station always has locked doors at night. Annoying when you want to shop late....

Has anyone ever thought of putting a surveilance camera at eye-level so that we may see faces rather than the tops of heads?

Ugh, again with the all black clothing. Clearly all black outfits need to be banned in public. That'll fixit! Sorry you Goths will have to figure out some other fashion statement.

And how about people who wear black for a living, like some servers at high end restaurants, stagehands & others? It's not only Goths and those ridiculous NY folks trying to be 'individual'.
