Restaurant, service station robbed at gunpoint Two young black males with guns held the clerk at a restaurant on Highway 7 South at gunpoint and demanded cash from the register and safe Saturday around 10 p.m, according to chief Robert Pearson. There were no customers in the Holly Springs restaurant at the time, he said. Monday night between 10 and 10:30, a service station on Highway 7 North was robbed at gunpoint, Pearson said.
