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.

Anyone with information about the suspect or robbery is asked to call Northeast Detectives at 215-686-3153/3154. All tips will be confidential. ••
