An armed, masked man robbed a Spring Backyard Township gasoline station-convenience retailer on Sunday night time, in keeping with a information launch.

About 9:19 p.m. Sunday, police responded to the Sunoco Station, 1300 Mt. Rose Ave., for a reported armed theft.

As soon as there, the clerk mentioned that a man entered the shop and approached the counter requesting a pack of cigarettes. However when the clerk opened the money register, the suspect brandished a handgun and demanded the cash, police mentioned.

After taking the cash, the suspect left the shop. There have been no accidents.

Police described the suspect as a male, age 24-28, 5 ft 6 inches tall, weighing 150 kilos and carrying a black ski masks, black hoodie with white lettering.

Earlier that day, Spring Backyard Township Police responded to a carjacking throughout which a 60-year-old car proprietor was stabbed. Police didn’t say if there’s any connection between the 2 crimes.
