VENICE, Fla.- An early morning armed robbery at the RaceTrac located at 110 Pointe Loop Drive is under investigation.

Just before 2 a.m. on Tuesday, Sarasota County deputies say two men with black shirts wrapped around their heads and holding silver semi-automatic handguns walked in and demanded money from the cash register.

The suspects’ car, a rented gray Toyota Camry, was later located at the entrance to the Central County Solid Waste Disposal Complex on Knights Trail Road, deputies said. Both suspects then ran into a heavily wooded area, authorities said.

Anyone with information on the suspects, is asked to call the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency number, 316-1201, 861-1701 or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers by calling 941-366-TIPS (8477), or online at www.sarasotacrimestoppers.com.
