LUNA PIER, Mich. — A Toledo man was arrested early on Sunday morning after an armed robbery at a Luna Pier gas station.

The Michigan State Police say an armed robber had fled with the cash register from the Sunoco Station on Luna Pier Road around 1:26 a.m.

Police say they then dispatched a K9 unit as well as an aerial drone to track down the robber.

After a search, police say it became apparent that the suspect had not gotten far from the scene and they began contacting the occupants of the semis that were parked at the gas station.

That’s where they found the 41-year-old Toledo man with the stolen cash register.

The name of the man, who was arrested and taken to the Monroe County Jail, was not released.
