A suspect has been apprehended in the early morning armed robbery of the the Sunoco convenience store on Washington Avenue in Finleyville, Monongahela police said.

A white man, between 5 feet, 6 inches and 5 feet, 8 inches tall with a thin build and dressed in black clothing, came into the store shortly before 3 a.m. and purchased an item. When the clerk opened the register, the man pulled out a semiautomatic pistol and told the clerk to give him all the money.

The man came behind the counter and grabbed more than $1,000 from the register, along with cigarettes and lottery tickets. He also took about $50 from the clerk's wallet.

The man told the clerk that he would kill him if he called the police and then fled on foot.
