Hialeah police looking for armed robber

Hialeah police are searching for an armed robber who stole money from a Hialeah gas station Saturday.

The man, wearing sunglasses, a black hoodie, black basketball shorts and red Nike sneakers, entered the Chevron gas station at 900 East 65 Street around 4:45 p.m.with a rifle. He walked behind the counter and demanded that the gas station attendant open the cash register.

The man left the gas station in a silver four-door car with black rims and smoked tail lights. There were no witnesses to the crime, and the attendant was not hurt.
