Police are searching for an armed thief on rollerblades who robbed a Lukoil gas station in Abington Township

The Abington Police Department was dispatched to 1945 Old York Road on Sunday, May 25 at 7:34 p.m. for a report of an armed robbery. An employee told police that a man armed with a handgun and a knife demanded cash and threatened to shoot the employee if he did not comply, according to police. 

The suspect was last seen skating south on Old York Road with the money from the register, according to police.

"The roller blades definitely stand out. His jacket was a two-toned white and tan coat, as well as a camouflage backpack," Deputy Chief of the Abington Township Police Department, Ed Quinn, told NBC10 in an interview. 

The Abington Police Detective Division is currently investigating this incident. 

Anyone with information should contact Detective Andrew Ammaturo at 267-536-1065 or via email at [email protected].
