SAN DIEGO (KUSI) — San Diego police Monday sought a man who robbed a gas station in the Carmel Mountain neighborhood and fled in a distinctive getaway car.

The suspect demanded cash from an employee at the Chevron on Rancho Carmel Drive south of Carmel Mountain Road around 9:30 p.m. Sunday, then sped off in a newer red Corvette with an undisclosed amount, San Diego police Officer Dino Delimitros said.

Police did not immediately say to whom the car belonged.

Police described the robber as thin, roughly 5 feet 11, in his 20s or early 30s, with a buzz cut, wearing a black T-shirt, blue jeans and black shoes and a blue bandana to cover his face.
