A K9 unit was called in to track the thief, but the dog lost the scent in the
area of Main and Pine streets.

A representative for the police department said it's a nearly identical situation to the robbery that occurred there Monday night when someone robbed the station at knifepoint then eluded a manhunt by LPD and the Niagara County Sheriff's Office.
Police say security footage shows a man arrive at the store with a knife around 11:30 p.m. and demand cash. Police have not offered a description of the assailant.
LPD requested a K9 team to track the robber. The K9 unit followed a track but lost it around Main and Pine streets shortly after 2 a.m.
We'll bring you more details when we get them.
