An armed robber struck at a Wawa store in Castor Gardens on Feb. 12. Although he used a mask to obscure his face, police hope that video evidence will help them identify the bandit.
The crime occurred at 7 p.m. at 6935 Castor Ave. when the gunman pointed his weapon at a 20-year-old woman cashier and demanded money. The employee complied. The robber fled with an undisclosed amount of cash in an unknown direction. He was described as white, 5 feet 8 inches tall, 200 pounds with a “thick” build, wearing a black hoodie pulled over his head, blue jeans and a gray mask featuring black eyes and a red mouth.
