Police: Regular Customer Returns, Robs Gas Station

Victim Recognizes Robber, Knows His Name

POSTED: 4:08 p.m. EDT August 8, 2002

A gas station clerk said that two men robbed him, and one of them was such a regular customer that he recognized the man and even knew his first name.

Broward Sheriff's Office robbery detectives are looking for Dwight Saint Patrick Austin, 36 (pictured, left). Detectives said that last Friday night, Austin and an accomplice held up the clerk at gunpoint, and made him give them the money from the cash register of the Texaco Gas Station, at 3100 N. Andrews Ave. in Oakland Park.

Deputies said that no one was hurt, but detectives said that Austin has an extensive criminal history. They said he may be armed and is considered extremely dangerous.

Austin's accomplice is described as a black male in his early to mid-30s, about 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing approximately 180 pounds. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and a red T-shirt with blue and white horizontal stripes.

Anyone with information is asked to call BSO robbery Detective Bob Kerr at (954) 321-4270 or call Broward Crime Stoppers at (954) 493-TIPS.

Those who provide information to Crime Stoppers will remain anonymous and are eligible for a reward up to $1,000 for information leading to Austin's arrest.
