The Selma Police Department is investigating an armed robbery at the Sunoco Gas Station on the bypass Monday morning.

Police were called to the Sunoco at 2297 Cecil Jackson Bypass in Selma around 5:26 a.m. to a report of an armed robbery by an unknown Black male who entered the business wearing gray pants, red Jordan sneakers and a black hoodie jacket with a mask covering his face.
