SALT LAKE CITY - Authorities are searching for an armed suspect accused of robbing a gas station.

Crews were called to the Shell gas station near 500 E. and 2100 S. at about 9 p.m. Sunday.

Police said a man walked into the gas station wearing a black wig, showed a gun and demanded money.

Officials said no one was seriously injured.

"We had a number of units respond, including a K9 unit, trying to locate the individual," Salt Lake City Police Lt. Carl Merino said. "We weren't able to find him."

Authorities said the suspect is a Caucasian man in his late teens or early 20s.

He is just under six feet tall.
