Man robs store, leads police on chase down one-way street

OGDEN — Police are looking for a man who held up a convenience store early Monday morning.

Authorities said a Hispanic man wearing a dark hoodie and sunglasses walked into the Maverik convenience store at 12th Street and Wall Avenue about 5:18 a.m. Monday and held up the clerks at gunpoint. The man then fled in a truck with the money, police said.

An officer responding to the robbery call spotted the vehicle at 17th Street and Grant Avenue.

"We got into a chase and ended up going westbound on 21st Street, which is a one-way eastbound street," Ogden Police Lt. Loring Draper said Monday.

The chase led to the railroad tracks nearby, where police said the robber jumped out of his car, shed his hoodie and ran off.

"We got dogs down there, but at that time of the morning there are just hundreds of trains," Draper said.

Anyone with information on the robbery is asked to call police at 801-629-8221.
