A 7-Eleven in the Hybla Valley area was held up early Wednesday morning, according to Thursday’s Fairfax County Police blotter.

The robbery happened just before 4 a.m. at the store at 7330 Richmond Highway (see map). A 911 hangup call prompted officers to respond to the store, but the robber had already fled.

The police were told that a man came into the store, pulled a gun and demanded the clerk give him cash. After getting an undisclosed amount of money from the clerk, the robber left the scene, according to police.

The robbery is the third reported in May in the Richmond Highway area, according to CrimeReports.com, which the FCPD uploads data to each weekday. The two previous robberies in May were not reported in the daily police blotter updates issued by the department.
