A man remains at large after an attempted robbery of a Newbold establishment.
At approximately 7:23 p.m. Dec. 22, police responded to a call of a robbery in progress at Dunkin’ Donuts, 2025 S. Broad St., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The complainant revealed he had been taking orders at the register when an unknown male approached him and ordered a small cup of coffee.
The patron paid but leaned in to show the worker a small semi-automatic handgun as the latter opened the container, Tolliver said. He demanded “Give me the money! Give me the money!”, but the complainant and a fellow employee ran from the offender, heading to the rear of the building, where they called 911. They described the gun-wielder, who fled empty-handed in an unknown direction, as black, 30 years old and 5-foot-6; having a moustache, a dark complexion and a skinny build; wearing a black jacket with a hood and tan boots; and armed with a gun.
