Police are on the lookout for a man named Joseph Brock, who they believe was involved in three robberies that occurred early Sunday morning in Northeast Philly.
Brock, 20, was previously arrested for a DUI, arson, burglary and theft. He is considered armed and dangerous.
The robberies occurred at the 7-Eleven on 9300 Old Bustleton Avenue, the Wawa at 100 Roosevelt Boulevard and the Lukoil on Comly Road, shortly after 2 a.m. on Sunday.
After robbing the 7-Eleven, the suspect was confronted by two police officers around 1900 Welsh Road. Gunfire was exchanged but no one was hit.
Though the suspect fled the scene, police recovered the gun that he likely used as well as the car that he was in.
Brock was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with the number 77 embroidered on the left side.
