SHENANDOAH – ​Shenandoah police are seeking a trio of men in connection with a robbery at a gas station tonight, and borough police and State Troopers were at another gas station in Frackville around the same time.

Shenandoah Police said a pair of skills machines were swiped from the Shenandoah Valero on South Main Street around 8:30pm tonight.

Three men, they said, provided fake documents and then took the machines and fled in a small box truck.
