BENSALEM, PA — A $10,000 reward is now being offered for information in an armed robbery and shooting that happened in Bensalem last month.

The Citizens Crime Commission is offering the reward for information that identifies the masked man who robbed First Stop Cigarettes and Cigars, at 919 Bristol Pike, on Friday, March 20.

Bensalem Township Police were called to the shop and learned that a man wearing what appeared to be a surgical mask had walked in at about 9 p.m., pulled a black revolver and demanded money.
