Ripley Way, PA- An armed man with a pillow case over his head robbed the Black Derby Liquor Store of 2311 Ripley Way at gunpoint last night.
Police arrived at the store minutes after, but the robber escaped with $2,845. (Would research to find out if it was solely cash that was stolen.)
Steve Bellinos, 28, was working behind the counter at 7:12 when a gun man entered the store demanding Bellinos empty the contents of the cash register into the pillowcase.
The robber was wearing blue jeans and a dirty white T-shirt with a torn right sleeve. Bellinos said the robber was 6 feet tall and weighed 155 pounds.
Officers Fulgham and Lopez arrived at the scene seven minutes later. Officer Fulgham fired a warning shot, but missed the robber as he escaped. (Would get more information from officials and police department. Would probably insert a quote from the police team who was at the scene.)
Ralph Martinson, 53, is the owner of the Black Derby Liquor Store. (Research to find out information about his reaction or include a quote if he is interviewed.) move the amount stolen to the lead
