Seattle police officers are investigating an armed robbery of a West Seattle gas station this morning.

At 2:20 a.m., patrol officers responded to reports of a robbery in the 4500 block of Fauntleroy Way Southwest. There, police determined that four masked men, driving a stolen Hyundai Sonata, robbed a gas station clerk at gunpoint, stealing between $500-600 cash.

The suspects fled the scene in the car before officers arrived. Police searched the area, but they could not find the suspects, and no arrests were made. Officers collected evidence and processed the scene. The clerk did not report any injuries.

Anyone with information is asked to call the violent crimes tip line at 206-233-5000. Anonymous tips are accepted. Detectives in the Robbery Unit will be assigned to this case.
