The incident occurred Saturday, Oct. 12, around 10:30 a.m. at the Rite Aid store at 5272 Torresdale Ave. A cashier told officers the suspect entered the store and walked behind the counter

He pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the cashier, saying “open the register, give me all the money,” police said. The employee handed him $100, and the suspect told the cashier to lay on the floor while he fled the store.
