On February 2, 2016 at approximately 9:00 PM, Upper Allen Police were dispatched to an armed robbery at CVS, 123 Gettysburg Pike just off US Route 15. Shortly before closing at 9:00 PM a white male entered the store and approached the two clerks on duty. He displayed a silver semi-automatic handgun and handed the clerks a note demanding money and instructing them not to call police. The male was wearing a dark blue hoodie with the hood up, a black ski mask with eyes and mouth holes, gray pants and black shoes that are possibly athletic shoes. He is approximately 5’8”, medium build. No suspect vehicle description. The actor came from and fled toward US Route 15. It is believed that the suspect then left in a vehicle that had been parked along US Route 15 near the South Market Street/Bowmansdale exit.
The Upper Allen Police would like the assistance of anyone who may have been driving in the area of US Route 15 South at the time of the robbery, and noticed any vehicles stopped along the roadway.
