It is illegal to steal from a store. It is simple retail theft. When you escalate that to a felony by pulling a weapon on store employees, that changes the dynamic. Even if you do not intend on using it. It is now a robbery. That is exactly what happened at the Selecto Supermarket in Bristol Borough, on Pond Street early on May 4, 2020. This male in the photo took six bottles of body wash and left the store without paying.
As he was approached, he pulled out a pocket knife and threatened the manager with it. Instant felony. He has a very distinctive hat and was riding a bicycle.
The subject then fled the scene on a bicycle. Anyone with any information regarding the identity of the suspect is asked to contact Det. Davis at 215-781-7813 ext. 2425
