Wawa robbers strike again in Bryn Mawr
Two men who robbed a Wawa in Lansdowne Jan. 28 entered a Bryn Mawr Wawa last night and fled the scene after stealing an unknown sum and firing a gun.
Radnor Township Police are asking for the public's help in tracking down bandits who robbed a Wawa on the 200 block of Bryn Mawr Ave. last night, and fired a bullet that deflected into the eye of a clerk.
Police say the men entered the store at 10:59 p.m. Thursday. One of the men, brandishing a gun, went behind the counter with the store employee and took money from a safe. When he realized how little money there was, police say he grew angry and fired his gun to the floor. A piece of the bullet deflected into an eye of the Wawa employee, who has since been treated and released from an area hospital.
During the robbery, the second man prevented the three or four customers already inside from leaving the store.
Witnesses told police the two men fled the scene in gold Ford Taurus with temporary paper registration plates.
Surveillance tapes show a black male, approximately 6-feet-tall, with black goatee wearing a blue, Old Navy sweatshirt, a Philadelphia Soul baseball cap, and black shoes.
His accomplice, a black male of the same height, and wearing a black sweatshirt with an Everlast logo across the front, stood at the store's entrance turning away incoming customers.
A reward of $2,500 is being offered in conjunction with Wawa for information that leads to an arrest.
Rador Police Superintendent William Colarulo said the pair were suspects in a Wawa robbery in Lansdowne on Jan. 28. Additional footage from the Lansdowne Wawa shows the male wearing the same Everlast sweatshirt visiting the store again - after he participated in the robbery - Feb. 8, a day before robbing the Bryn Mawr Wawa.
"We don't know if he's armed with a weapon, but we know he's armed and dangerous," Colarulo said of the gunman. "They're obviously targeting Wawas in the Delware County area."
"It's clear to me and the investigative staff from the interviews we've taken that they're not going to stop their behavior if they're brazen enough to into the same Wawa they robbed a few days before," he added.
Anyone with information regarding the crime should call 215-546-TIPS, 9-1-1 or the Radnor Township Police at 610-688-0503.
