Another Needle Robbery

A man armed with a syringe was caught after allegedly robbing a 7-11 store in Roxborough Sunday morning.

The suspect, who still wasn’t identified as of Sunday night, allegedly took an undisclosed amount of cash after threatening the convenience store clerk at the 7-11 on the 5600 block of Ridge Ave., said Philadelphia Police.

He was later caught, police confirmed.

There was no initial connection made between this robbery and a slew of robberies last week where the assailant used a hypodermic needle, according to police.
