LITTLE ROCK, AR – A Little Rock man is behind bars for the robbery of a local gas station on Thursday.

Just before 12 a.m. a Little Rock Police Officer was called to 8900 Stagecoach Road at the Phillips 66 on a robbery call.

When the officer arrived he spoke with the clerk of the store who said while they were re-stocking shelves, three suspects described as black males with their faces covered came into the business armed with guns.

According to a report, the suspects forced the clerk to open the register and they took an unrevealed amount of money and cigarettes then fled the scene on foot.

While police continued to investigate the scene, another officer pulled over a vehicle for a stolen license plate and discovered stolen items inside that matched what was taken from the gas station.

The driver, London Kendrick, 18, was arrested for the robbery and taken to the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility.

He is charged with Aggravated Robbery, Theft of Property (Felony), and Theft by Receiving (Misdemeanor).
