PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA – Gunman robs a 28-year-old store clerk at gunpoint yesterday evening while working at The Black Derby Liquor Store on 2311 Ripley Way. A gunman with a pillowcase over his head robbed the clerk of $2,845 before fleeing down an alley behind the liquor store.
The robber was about six feet tall and weighed 155 pounds, according to police reports. In addition, store clerk, Bellinos, stated the robber was wearing blue jeans and a dirty white t-shirt with a torn right sleeve.
When the unidentified man came into the liquor store, he pulled out a pistol and demanded that Bellinos empty the contents of the cash register into another pillowcase, police said.
The robber fled the scene as he saw the police car, according to the police report. Officer Fulghan shouted a warning then fired a shot at the man. The shot missed the robber as he ran into an alley. The two officers followed the man but he escaped, police said.
John Paul Reinicke, 35, of Plymouth Meeting, said he was walking down Ripley Way when he saw both officers chase after the robber. “The officers did a great job,” he said. “The guy ran so fast he looked like a track star,” Reinicke said
