3 suspects held Golden store clerk at gunpoint, stole Twix bars

The men also got away with about $70 and two boxes of cigars during the Sept. 15 Circle K robbery.

GOLDEN, Colo. — Golden Police (GPD) needs help identifying three suspects who held a store clerk hostage at gunpoint while they robbed a convenience store last week.

Officers with GPD responded to an alarm at the Circle K at 17691 W. Colfax Ave. at 2:26 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 15

Six minutes earlier, at 2:20 a.m., GPD said three suspects, all wearing masks, entered the store. The men were armed with handguns and one of them went behind the counter and held a gun to the employee’s neck while the other two stood at the counter with their guns pointed at the employee, according to police and security video from the store.

After collecting money from the register, the suspects shoved the employee at gunpoint into a back room, where they stole her personal belongings, police said.

The suspects also took a box of Twix bars, two cartons of cigars and $72.51 in cash and change.
