State Police say a getaway car ran out of gas after a robbery at a gas station.

Troopers caught up with the suspects here, on Route 11 last night.

State Police responded to a panic alarm at the Quickway in Kirkwood around 9:30 pm.

The clerk told troopers a man displayed a knife, demanded cash, cut phone lines and fled.

About an hour later, State Police located the suspects, 30 year old Lonnie Meckwood of Carbondale and 51 year old Phillip Weeks of Tunkhannock.

Troopers say they're vehicle had run out of gas, which aided in their capture.

Both are charged with 1st degree robbery.
