INTERLOCHEN — Authorities received several tips they said could lead to arrests in an armed robbery at an Interlochen gas station.

Grand Traverse sheriff's deputies continue to investigate a July 12 armed robbery at the Interlochen EZ Mart along U.S. 31. One suspect pointed a long gun at a gas station clerk and demanded money, then he and another suspect fled.

Deputies have yet to arrest either suspect, but surveillance video released to local media outlets prompted several leads, said sheriff's Capt. Dave Meachum. Meachum wouldn't comment on possible suspects.

Anyone with information on the armed robbery is asked to call the Silent Observer Tip Line at 947-8477.
