MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Two men, one armed with a handgun, robbed a woman about to pump gas at a service station April 30, police said.

Before the woman got out of her car at the Lucky 7 Market at 6224 Macon Road, she applied an anti-theft device on the car's steering wheel.

When she got out of the car two men approached her, one of them pointing a hand gun.

She ran from the car. The two chased her.

No one was injured.

The two men returned to the car, took property inside it and ran away.

The store's surveillance camera captured one of the two men inside the store at the cashier's counter.

Anyone with information should call CrimeStoppers at 901-528-CASH.
