The woman arrived at the store at about 10 a.m. and walked to the refrigerator section before approaching the checkout counter and stating to a 23-year-old male cashier, “Give me all your money. If you say anything I’ll shoot you.”

The woman did not display a gun, but the employee took money from a cash register and placed it in a plastic Wawa bag. The robber fled with the bag and was last seen heading south on the Boulevard. She was described as black, 45–55 years old, 5 feet 2 inches tall, with a medium build, a black head wrap, a red coat, dark blue pants and white sneakers.
