Police are searching for a man who fled from the Delta Gas Station Wednesday night after allegedly stealing hundreds of dollars in cash while carrying a gun, Capt. Eric Wilsusen said.

At 9:39 p.m. Officer Tom Fedo of the Jefferson Township Police Department arrived at the gas station on Route 23 for a reported robbery involving a handgun, Wilsusen said, but when patrol units arrived, the alleged robber was gone.
