Update: Police Investigating Armed Robbery at Starbucks

Police in Radnor are looking for a man involved in an armed robbery outside of a Starbucks on Lancaster Avenue Thursday morning.

The incident took place around 10 a.m. Thursday morning in the parking lot of Starbucks, Sergeant Andrew Block said during a press conference on Thursday. Block said that an area woman was attempting to put young child in the back of her car when she was approached by a man who put a handgun to her face and told her to remove her jewelry. The woman turned over her jewelry and watch, and the man in questions took the woman’s purse out of her car before fleeing the scene in a white Toyota. No one was injured in the incident.

Police say that around 10:30 that same morning a “person of interest” was seen on surveillance cameras using credit cards taken from the women’s purse to buy gift cards from a Target on Baltimore Pike in Springfield.

Block said that the Radnor Police are offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the identity of the person or people of interest in this incident.

“This is unusual for Radnor,” Block said. “But we want to show that we have zero tolerance for this type of thing.”
