A knife-wielding robber hit the Wawa market in East Goshen Township on Monday, Dec. 14, and Westtown-East Goshen Police hope someone can identify him from surveillance photos.

Officers from the Westtown-East Goshen Regional Police Department responded to the Wawa in the 1500 block of Paoli Pike at 5:42 a.m., a press release said. When they arrived, they learned that a white male had entered the store and requested a pack of cigarettes from the store clerk. During the purchase, the man produced a knife and demanded money from the register.

The clerk complied with the demand and turned over an undisclosed amount of money. The subject was last seen running west from the Wawa. A total of four employees were inside the store at the time of the robbery and nobody was injured, the release said.
The alleged robber is described as a clean-shaven man in his 20s with dark hair. He was wearing a dark, hooded sweatshirt, a dark ski-type mask, lavender gloves and dark sweatpants with a white stripe down the side.
Anyone with information about this crime or the suspect is urged to call the Westtown-East Goshen Regional Police Department at 610-692-5100; information can also be sent via e-mail to [email protected].
