“Give me the money before I start shooting!”
That’s what Dunkin’ Donuts employees told police a man told them as he emptied the dough from the register and grabbed a bag of doughnuts from the store at Germantown and W Erie avenues in the Hunting Park section of Philadelphia Sunday morning.
The suspect entered the store around 5 a.m. and asked for two doughnuts and juice. As an employee rung the man up, he reached over the counter and grabbed money from the register while making his “start shooting” threat, said investigators.
Another employee handed over the dough. But, police said the thief wasn’t done – he grabbed a bag of doughnuts before fleeing the store.
Employees never saw a gun but they did say the man kept his hand inside his coat pocket throughout the robbery.
Police described the suspect as a man in his early 20s, standing nearly 6-feet tall and weighing around 165 to 170 pounds.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Philadelphia Police.
