Sheriff John Plasse said the two suspects, a man and a woman, entered the store wearing dark clothing, with much of their faces covered.

"One suspect pointed a firearm at the clerk. Cash and other items were taken," he added. 

​The suspects fled the scene in a black 2020 Nissan Sentra SR, with a temporary tag.

The duo is also believed to be connected to several other incidents earlier Sunday morning in the Terre Haute area. Police say  three loical hotels were held up just before the gas station.
