Masked, Knife-Wielding Man Sought After Robbing Novato Gas Station Convenience Store

NOVATO (CBS SF) -- Police in Novato were looking for a masked, knife-wielding man who robbed a gas station convenience store Monday night.

Novato police responded Monday at about 11:35 p.m. to a report of a robbery at the Shell gas station/Loop store at the corner of Rowland and South Novato Boulevards.
