Police are trying to identify a man who used a demand note to rob a Tacony convenience store on Sept. 12. The crook entered the Wawa at 6400 Torresdale Ave. at about 4:10 p.m., approached the sales counter with two bottled drinks and handed a note to a 25-year-old man clerk demanding that he empty the contents of the cash register in a bag.

The employee complied with the demand. The robber fled with a bag containing cash and the two drinks. He was last seen on foot westbound on Levick Street. He was described as black, 20 years old, with a medium or dark complexion, 5 feet 8 inches tall, thin, with a red shirt, white Polo cap, black pants and white sneakers.
