Rollerblading bro robs gas station with gun, knife then flees on getaway skates
He made a clean es-skate. Police in Pennsylvania are on the lookout for a brazen crook who robbed a local gas station by flashing a gun and a knife — and got away on rollerblades. The frightening heist took place shortly after 7:30 p.m. on May 25 at the Lukoil mart on Old York Road, with the badly dressed bandit making a clean getaway, Abington Township police said in a Facebook post. Abington Township police in Pennsylvania said a brazen thief robbed a gas station and escaped on rollerblades. Abington Township PD 'The suspect, who arrived and departed the store on rollerblades, was armed with a handgun and a knife in the front of his waistband,' police said. 'He demanded all the money from the register and threatened to shoot the employee if he did not comply. 'The suspect was last seen skating south on Old York Rd. with the money from the register.' Photos released by cops show the thief wearing a hoodie with a cap, shorts and a mask over his face — and the black and white rollerblades on his feet near the front door of the station mart. Police did not say how much money the crook got away with. Police said the thief flashed a gun and a knife while robbing a Pennsylvania Lukoil gas station mart. Abington Township PD 'He was shouting at me without any reason, 'Give me all the money!' Like he was shouting too loud, and so that time I was a little bit scared,' the employee, identified only as Amaan, told WABC-TV News. Police credited the clerk with keeping his cool during the ordeal. 'The employee did a fantastic job remaining very calm, very deliberate in his actions,' Abington Township Police Detective Sgt. Troy Hummel told the outlet. Cops are asking anyone with information to call detectives at 267-536-1065.
