A man captured on surveillance video holding up a Raleigh County gas station remains on the run.

The Go Mart in MacArthur was robbed at gunpoint around 9:30 p.m., Monday.

The suspect was dressed in dark blue clothing and a skull mask.

Raleigh County sheriff's deputies say the male headed toward Crab Orchard and Sophia when he left.

Investigators say armed robberies are serious crimes.

"We're hoping that someone will realize the seriousness of the charge and give us a call an they can remain anonymous and receive a reward but its this kind of guy that tends to escalate into more and more violent crimes endangering the public so if he's been bragging I hope somebody will give us a call," said Steve Tanner, Raleigh County sheriff.
