A man held a Circle K employee at gunpoint as she opened the store Saturday morning and robbed the gas station of  an unknown amount of money, according to a Goldsboro police report.

The report said a man approached 44-year-old Donna Michelle Lee as she went to open the Circle K at 600 N. Spence Ave. He held her at gunpoint, forced her inside the store and demanded she opened the safe.

The man took the cash and stole Lee's 2013 silver Dodge Avenger to make his escape, the report said.

Maj. Anthony Carmon, head of the Goldsboro Police Department's Investigative Services Bureau, confirmed that Lee's vehicle has not been recovered.
