An armed man robbed three Auburn gas stations last night.
The Auburn Police Department responded to a call at the Tiger's Den Exxon on Shug Jordan Parkway at approximately 6:10 p.m., a second call at the Liberty station on East Glenn Avenue at approximately 6:46 p.m. and a third call at the Chevron on South College Street at 7:23 p.m., according to an APD press release.
The suspect stole cash from each of the store's register drawers.
After using an Alabama Department Public Safety helicopter and an Opelika Police Department K-9, the police were unable to locate the suspect.
Patrick Earl Jenkins, 19, of Opelika is wanted by police for questioning about the crimes, according to the release.
A 23-year-old woman thought to be associated with the robberies was taken into custody while waiting in a car in the Walmart parking lot.
Anyone with information regarding Jenkins' whereabouts is encouraged to call the APD at 501-3140 or the anonymous tip line at 334-501-7337.
