Man Arrested After Robbery, Police Chase

(WCCO)

Bloomington Police arrested a man they said robbed a gas station and led them on a chase Friday night.

Police said a man robbed the BP gas station located on the 5100 block of West 98th Street in Bloomington.

The robbery suspect drove away from the scene in a blue Saturn while police chased after him.

Officers followed the suspect onto Interstate 494, towards MSP International Airport.

The suspect crashed his car at Highway 61 and Warner Road in St. Paul and then fled on foot.

The chase ended when he was caught by officers.

Police believe the suspect is responsible for two other convenience stores robberies in Richfield, Minn. and Edina, Minn. earlier Friday evening.

Detectives are not releasing the man's name because he is thought to also be the suspect in multiple other convenience store robberies in the last few weeks, according to the Bloomington Police Department.

The Bloomington Police captain called him "very active."

Police expect charges to be filed within the next few days.
