ORION TWP. – The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office is searching for two suspects who reportedly robbed the BP gas station on Baldwin Road at 1:28 a.m. Dec. 31 and investigators hope the public can help identify the men.

One of the suspects jumped over the clerk’s counter near the cash register, while the other suspect walked around the counter, pointed a gun at the clerk, an Independence Twp. woman, and demanded money from the cash register.

The men then push the clerk in front of the cash register to open it, after which the men began taking the money from the register.

The suspects’ demanded the store clerk’s cell phone, but the woman told them she did not have a phone. The suspects, however, saw her phone lying on the counter and took it with them, fleeing from the store with an unknown amount of cash and the clerk’s phone, the incident report stated.
