Police are searching for a man in his 50s, about five feet eight inches tall and weighing around 170 pounds, who they said took an undetermined amount of money from a 76 gas station on Glenarm Street in Pasadena early Monday.

Pasadena Police Lt. John Mercado said the suspect, described as black and weighing about 170 pounds, was armed with a handgun when he allegedly entered the 76 gas station store at 155 E. Glenarm Street, past 1:03 a.m.
