At 3:06 a.m. Thursday, Crawfordsville officers responded to a report of an armed robbery at McClure’s Oil, a truck stop located in the 1900 block of Smith Avenue.
According to initial reports, a male suspect of medium height and build entered the business while displaying a handgun. The suspect demanded cash, which the employee complied with, handing over an undisclosed amount.
