Surveillance photo
A masked gunman held up a Sunoco APlus market in Burholme on Dec. 16 in broad daylight.
Police detectives hope that surveillance video of the heist will help them identify the unknown bandit, who entered the business at 6865 Rising Sun Ave. at 11:48 a.m., pointed a gun at a clerk — a 37-year-old man — and demanded money. After the employee surrendered an undisclosed amount of cash from the register, the robber fled, running toward Longshore Avenue. The robber was described as light-skinned, 20 to 25 years old, 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, thin, with a black hoodie, black pants, a mask and gray or black and red sneakers.
