3 men with baseball bats rob Whitehorse gas station

A gang of baseball bat-wielding thieves made off with cash and goods from a downtown Whitehorse gas station early Wednesday morning.

RCMP say it happened at the Petro-Canada station on Fourth Avenue, just after 3 a.m.

Three men,with bandanas covering their faces, entered the store carrying baseball bats. They robbed the on-duty clerk of cash, cigarettes and other items from the store.

The clerk was not hurt, but police say the store was left a mess. A glass display case was damaged, and other items had been "tossed over."

RCMP say officers, including the Forensic Identification Section, were on scene early this morning.

They're still investigating and are asking anybody with information to contact them.
