Gastonia police say just after 7 a.m. Wednesday, a person walked into the Kingsway on W. Garrison Boulevard, went behind the counter and showed the clerk a knife, and demanded cash.
Channel 9′s Coleman Montgomery obtained security video from the gas station on Wednesday. The video shows a person walking through the parking lot of the gas station and into the store. The suspect then walks behind the counter and takes the cash before running away on foot.
