Newport News Police are looking for two people who robbed the Shell station at 10732 Jefferson Avenue on Monday night and may be responsible for several other recent robberies.
Officers responded to the business at 9:14 p.m.
Police learned that the two men had entered the business. One man displayed a black hand gun and demanded cash, the other took the cash from the register. As the owner stepped out of a back room the man with the weapon pointed it at him.
