An Arco gas station in Otay Mesa was robbed at gunpoint early Tuesday.

The suspect demanded money from an employee at the station’s am/pm convenience store at the corner of Del Sol and Picador boulevards around 1:15 a.m. and fled after receiving an undisclosed amount, San Diego Police Officer John Buttle said.

A detailed description of the suspect was not immediately available, but police said he was Hispanic, about 30 and wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and gray pants.
