MONROE - Authorities were searching for a man who robbed a Monroe service station yesterday.

The suspect fled with about $400 in cash in a blue or black sedan with a luggage rack mounted on the trunk. The car was driven by another individual, deputies said.

The clerk described the suspect as white and in his mid-20s. He was waering blue jeans and a hooded sweatshirt.
