At approximately 8:45 PM Friday, January 30th. an 18-year old female clerk working alone at the Subway sandwich shop located at 6541 Sexton Dr NW Olympia was robbed at gun point.

Two African American males, each wearing dark clothing, gloves, and a gray colored ski mask entered the business and ordered the employee to empty the cash register.
