HERMITAGE — A man armed with a gun used a stolen car in a robbery Friday night at Tractor Supply Co., 2298 E. State St., Hermitage, police said.
A 1987 Buick was stolen between 7:30 and 8 p.m. from the 500 block of South Hermitage Road, Hermitage. A passenger window was broken to gain access to the car, police said.
At 8:44 p.m., two Tractor Supply employees had just closed the store and were walking to their cars when a black man, who was in his 20s, 6 feet tall and wearing a bandana across his face, got out of the stolen car and pointed a gun at them, police said.
The man demanded money, which the employees handed over. The man also took their car keys and one of their purses, then got back into the stolen car and drove around to the rear of Hermitage Hills Plaza, police said.
Police found the car still running behind the plaza near Tops Buffet and unsuccessfully searched the area for the man.
An undisclosed amount of money was stolen during the robbery, police said.
