Wawa hopes that a $5,000 reward helps Philadelphia police track down the gun-toting robber who struck two Northeast Philadelphia convenience store locations earlier this month.
On Monday, Wawa announced the reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the armed robber who struck the 4510 Castor Ave. store in the Crescentville neighborhood on Sept. 8 and the 7001 Roosevelt Blvd. store in the Mayfair neighborhood on Sept. 11.
In the Sept. 8 robbery, a man armed with a handgun went into the store around 11 p.m. and demanded money before running off with $250,. During the Sept. 11 robbery, a gunman took about $200 from the store around 5 a.m. Police estimated the robber to be in his early 50s, standing between 5-feet, 9-inches and 6-feet tall and weighing between 180 to 220 pounds. He is bald and wore a black shirt with an astronaut helmet on the front during one of the thefts.
