Serial Robber on the Loose?

Police in Camden and Gloucester counties, including here in Gloucester Township, believe the same man is responsible for a rash of armed robberies in their towns since Thursday.

It is believed the same man, armed with a knife in most cases, has robbed convenience stores in Gloucester, Cherry Hill and West Deptford townships and a TD Bank branch in Washington Township, Gloucester Township Police Capt. Anthony Minosse said.

The robbery spree appears to have begun at the Church Street 7-Eleven in Blackwood Thursday night.

After robbing the TD Bank on Route 42 in Washington Township Friday afternoon, the police theory goes that the suspect robbed the 7-Eleven store on Evesham Road in Glendora Friday night before robbing a 7-Eleven store in Cherry Hill and another convenience store in West Deptford over the weekend.

Gloucester Township Police described the suspect as a white male who is between 30 and 40 years old, about 6 feet tall and between 170 and 190 pounds. The man reportedly was wearing a dark gray sweatshirt, a baseball hat, dark pants and white sneakers when he robbed the Church Street 7-Eleven on Thursday night.

It appears the robber has worn the same or similar clothing in all of the robberies, Minosse said.

Gloucester Township Police urge anyone with information about the robberies or the suspect to contact police dispatch at 856-228-4500 or the township's crime tip line at 856-842-5560.
