El Paso cops are on the hunt for a slick duo who pulled a classic midnight heist at a Lower Valley gas station, swiping goods while pretending to pony up the cash. The scene went down around 12 a.m. on Sept. 28 at that DK joint over on Yarbrough and Yermoland, just your average pit stop until these two decided to get creative.
