Employee leaves during Auto Zone armed robbery

Tulsa, Okla. — Two men use a gun and a knife to rob an Auto Zone store. Three employees were still on duty before 9 p.m. Thursday when two men entered the store near 5100 North Peoria. They wanted money, but during the robbery a gutsy thing took place and one of the robbers left. “One of the employees was able to get out of the store during the robbery,” TPD Sgt. Brandon Smith told KRMG. “We presume (the robber) followed but I guess we’re not 100% sure.” The robbery succeeded. “The employees were cooperative gave the suspects what they asked for and the suspects both left on foot from the store.” Detectives will use surveillance video to help solve the case.
