Suspects captured in library after attempted robbery

Yikes! An off-duty McCandless police officer saw three people attempt to rob a Sunoco gas station at Perry Highway and Cumberland Road yesterday, and chased them as they fled into the nearby Northland Library.

Other police converged on the library and, after ordering it evacuated of more than 75 patrons and staff, took the suspects — all juveniles — into custody, dispatchers said.

No one was injured, and, said a police spokeswoman, “nobody was in any danger.”
