Evesham Police Seek Alleged Marlton Armed Robber

An armed robber who rigged an electric drill to look like a handgun hit a Marlton convenience store last week, according to Evesham Township Police, who are asking for the public’s help in trying to locate the man.

A man in all black, wearing a pair of purple gloves and a bandana to cover his face, walked into Pantry One on Old Marlton Pike around 9:35 p.m. Sept. 3, pointed the drill—wrapped in black electrical tape to make it pass for a gun—at a clerk and demanded money, running off with about $700 in cash, police said.

The alleged robber, whose sweatshirt was emblazoned with the Holden logo, tossed the drill, which investigators recovered nearby, police said, but disappeared into the night.

Anyone who recognizes the man or has any information regarding the incident is asked to contact the Evesham Police Department at 856-983-1116 or the Confidential Tip Line at 856-983-4699.
