Abilene Convenience Store on Grape Street Robbed at Gunpoint



Abilene Convenience Store on Grape Street Robbed at Gunpoint

According to KTXS - 12, a local 7-11 store was robbed at gunpoint in the 3100 block area of Grape Street. The robbery took place slightly before one in the morning on Sunday, July 9th. The culprits held the cashier at gunpoint and police say that an undisclosed amount of cash was taken from the register of the store. Police are still looking for clues about who robbed the store. Interestingly, this store was robbed before back in 2015. 

Violent Crimes

Working the night shift at a convenience store may bring you into contact with some dangerous people. Sadly, almost any place that stays open 24 hours and has a significant amount of cash flow coming into the place may be a target for criminals. Because this is an ever present danger, most places try to set up preventative measures. Well lit parking lots and storefronts may help deter people from choosing to rob the place. Also, some places only keep so much much money in the register and put any extra into a safe. Still, people commit robberies much more often than most cashiers would like, I'm sure. 

Work Injuries

Different industries and work settings have different hazards that come with them. Oilfield workers probably aren't in any danger of being shot for money while on the job. On the other hand, cashiers may not have to deal with the deadly gases and machinery that accompany work in the oil and gas industry. Since each type of work has hazards, employers are responsible for keeping their workers safely working as much as possible. Sadly, people still get hurt all the time while at work.
