Middlesex Township Police are investigating an attempted robbery at the Express Way gas station.
A suspect entered the store and jumped on the counter demanding money. The clerk told the suspect she couldn't open the drawer without a purchase. The clerk told police the man grabbed a box of mints and put it under the lottery scanner attempting to open the drawer.
The clerk said the suspect demanded she open the drawer when a customer pulled up to the gas pumps. The suspect fled the store and ran behind some businesses on Route 11.
The suspect did not get away with money, but did steal the mints.
