Sunoco A-Plus Robbed at Gunpoint Early Wednesday Morning
Another armed robbery committed by two men the police suspect may be responsible for other recent hold-ups.
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. Michael Crescitelli, two men dressed in back hooded sweatshirts and wearing black masks entered the store at approximately 12:50 a.m. on Wednesday, March 20 and brandished a gun. The men reported demanded money and fled the scene, making off with an undetermined amount of cash.

Lol, yeah because the station owners get all of the money for each gallon of gas they sell, gas stations on average make two to three cents per gallon. Perhaps karma might give you a calloused visit amisstree in response to posting such a calloused comment.

Probably because it was in York County, not in Norristown or Montgomery County. And how can you get upset that robberies are posted? It seems that these same two people have been making the news and I am concerned that they are hitting different establishments throughout town. These places that they rob are in locations with fairly heavy traffic, so these two bums obviously don't care about being conspicuous. If you want some police brutality news that bad, just Google it and enjoy.
