The Valero convenience store on the corner of 21st Street and Minnesota was the site of a robbery early Sunday morning, Wichita police say.

Sgt. Joe Kennedy said a 45-year-old man was outside of the gas stop, 2008 E. 21st St., at around 3:35 a.m. when he was approached by two people armed with handguns. The pair demanded the man’s wallet and cellphone, which he turned over, Kennedy said.

They then fled in a black Ford or Mazda SUV. The man was not hurt, Kennedy said. Police said the two, a man and woman, remained at large Sunday afternoon.
