During the January 10 robbery at the Pennsauken 7-Eleven, police say the suspects shot a 28-year-old clerk several times after he reached for an emergency alarm button. The man was taken to Cooper Hospital where he is still in critical condition.
Police are also investigating whether the men are connected to two armed robberies that occurred at the 130 Food Mart in Delran, New Jersey on January 16 and January 26, as well as a liquor store robbery in Florence, New Jersey on Monday.
Officials with 7-Eleven are offering a $5,000 reward to anyone with information leading to the arrest of the people responsible. The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office is also offering a $2,500 reward.
Police say the suspects wore a mask during all the robberies. They have not yet released a detailed description of the suspects.
If you have any information on the robberies, please call Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Detective Vincent McCalla at (856) 225-8569 or Pennsauken Police Detective Brian Polaski at (856) 488-0080.
