LETHBRIDGE: Two 14-year old males are facing charges following an armed robbery at a west-side gas station Thursday night.
Police say just before 8:00p.m. the two youths entered the Gas Plus in the 100 block of Jerry Potts Boulevard West armed with a knife and an airsoft pistol. They demanded cash and when the 21-year old male employee refused, a scuffle ensued resulting in the employee being stabbed in the shoulder and struck with the firearm. The suspects fled the scene without any money.
