FBI: 3 suspects sought for string of armed robberies at 7-Elevens around Philadelphia suburbs
DELAWARE COUNTY - The FBI has joined local law enforcement in the search for a trio of suspects wanted for a rash of armed robberies over the past 10 days.
Three male suspects have been targeting 7-Eleven stores in Philadelphia and its suburbs in the early morning hours, according to officials.
One of the robberies was caught on video, showing one suspect guard the door as the other two confront an employee with a gun before stealing money from the register.
The suspects are also accused of physically assaulting employees on several occasions.
Police believe at least two of the suspects are connected to at least five armed robberies since July 22:
- July 22: 7-Eleven on Dutton Mill Road, Aston Township, Delaware County; and 7-Eleven on West Eagle Road, Haverford Township, Delaware County
- July 27: 7-Eleven on Chester Pike, Sharon Hill, Delaware County
- July 30: 7-Eleven on Horsham Road, Montgomery Township, Montgomery County; and 7-Eleven on Street Road, Upper Southampton Township, Bucks County
Two more 7-Elevens were robbed Tuesday morning, one on Fayette Street in Montgomery County; and another on Ridge Avenue in Philadelphia. Authorities are investigating whether the latest robberies are connected to the wanted suspects.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police, who are offering a reward in connection to the incidents.
