A North Stafford convenience store was robbed at gunpoint Saturday night.
Four people wearing dark clothes entered the 5 Twelve C store at 1075 Garrisonville Road, across from Mount Ararat Baptist Church, at 10 p.m. They were in the store for about two minutes before one man walked up to the counter, pulled out a shotgun, and demanded cash, said Stafford sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy.

We hope everyone can spend time with friends and family on this special day, and take time and enjoy each other’s company.
