Frankford perfume shop robbed at gunpoint

SURVEILLANCE PHOTO

Something smelled rotten at the King Perfume store in Frankford on June 11, but it wasn’t the merchandise.

At about noon that day, a man slipped into the business at 4602 Frankford Ave., waited for all the customers to leave and robbed the cashier at gunpoint. After obtaining an undisclosed amount of cash, the crook bound the employee with rope and fled on foot. He was last seen eastbound on Orthodox Street.

The robber was described as black, 50 years old, 6 feet tall with a medium complexion, a dark baseball cap, a white button-down shirt, blue T-shirt, dark pants and sunglasses.
