Authorities arrested a West Oak Lane man for allegedly robbing a Point Breeze store.
As first reported in the April 9 South Philly Review as “Gall waiting,” police reported to Metro PCS, 1414 Point Breeze Ave., at 5:28 p.m. April 6, meeting with two store employees, learning from them that minutes earlier, an unknown figure came in with a gun and demanded cash. Using the black plastic bag that he supposedly produced, one worker placed the cash inside, with the gun wielder reportedly exiting and walking southbound on Point Breeze Avenue.
On April 8, Edwin Jimerson allegedly entered another Metro PCS establishment on Frankford Avenue, with officials arresting him and charging him for that matter, the South Philly instance and an April 3 Northeast Philly-situated heist of yet another Metro PCS.
Police charged the 24-year-old with possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person, assault, robbery, theft and receiving stolen property. He had not posted his $200,000 bail as of press time and awaits an April 24 preliminary hearing.
