Report: Armed Robbers Threaten to Kill 1-Year-Old Child, Mother

No one injured in armed robbery of PA Auto Repair.

Two armed robbers threatened to shoot a 1-year-old child and her mother during a Friday evening robbery in Goose Creek, according to a police report.

Money and cell phones were taken in the robbery but no one was injured.

Two unknown black males entered the PA Auto Repair at 125 Red Bank Road and demanded money and cell phones at around 8 p.m.

One pulled a gun on victims — a father, mother and daughter — and the other told them to get on the floor. When the victims balked at getting money from the safe, one of the men told the other to shoot the 1-year-old child and her mother. The victims disclosed the location of the money. 

The perpetrators fled and the police K-9 unit lost the trail. The case remains active.
