Armed and masked robbers stole a pack of cigarettes and $60 from the Stinker Station in Moscow on Saturday.

Two men donning masks and brandishing handguns robbed the Stinker Station early Saturday morning in Moscow. They fled with a bag of cash and a carton of Marlboro cigarettes.

Police responded at 3:54 a.m. after the men had fled.

The store’s clerk said one of the suspects pointed his gun at two customers and ordered them to place their cell phones on the counter. Meanwhile, the clerk put money in a brown paper bag, which he handed to the other suspect along with the carton of cigarettes.

The suspects wore black hooded sweatshirts and black plastic masks with white around the eyes and white, grinning mouths.

Both were described as being 5’7” to 5’11” with thin builds. The weapons were described as black semi-automatic pistols with silver-colored barrels.

Moscow Police Chief David Duke said the stolen cash amounted to approximately $60. He said no suspects had been identified.

“We are offering a $1000 reward to anyone who can provide information which might help us in identifying suspects,” Duke said.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Moscow Police Department at (208) 882-COPS or the anonymous tip line (208) 892-3898.
