Police are searching for two suspects who robbed a gas station Sunday night in west suburban Glendale Heights.

At 7:10 p.m., officers responded to an armed robbery at the Shell in the 1400 block of Glen Ellyn Rd., according to a statement from Glendale Heights police.

Two male suspects, one armed with a semi-automatic handgun, entered the gas station, pointed the gun at the clerk and demanded he open the register, police said. The clerk complied, one of the suspects grabbed money from the drawer, and they ran away southbound.
