LAKELAND (FOX 13) - Detectives are searching for three men who robbed a Marathon gas station at gunpoint Tuesday, July 25 just before 10:30 p.m.
Surveillance video shows the suspects, wearing all black, bursting through the door of the store on Ariana Street in Lakeland.
They demanded money from the store clerk, who told Polk County Sheriff’s Office detectives the men threatened to kill him if he didn’t open the safe.
One of the suspects was carrying a silver revolver and pulled the trigger during the incident, but the gun did not fire.
