Sunoco A-Plus Robbed at Gunpoint Early Wednesday Morning

Norristown police are investigating another armed robbery, this time of the Sunoco A-Plus at West Main Street and Haws Avenue.

According to Detective Lt.

The men reported demanded money and fled the scene, making off with an undetermined amount of cash.
