ARMED ROBBERY AT FEGLEY'S MINI MART IN TAMAQUA (TWO REWARDS BEING OFFERED) (Jan. 20, 2012)
(Above is Dunkin Donut's Surveillance Video) (Goto 16:25 to see robber, wearing a black North Face jacket, walk into frame.) Tamaqua Police are seeking the public's help in identifying the male who robbed Fegley's Mini Mart (Center Street) on Friday night, January 20, 2012. Prior news reports stated the lone male as having a dark-skinned complexion, but witness accounts differed somewhat, due to the fact the man was wearing a bandana across his face. In the surveillance video and snapshots, the suspect's ungloved hands appeared white. The suspect was wearing a dark hooded jacket, with the North Face logo on the back, and grey shoulders. The robber is estimated to be in his late teens to mid-twenties. Currently, no one is in custody, and Tamaqua Police are still investigating. Anyone with information about the armed robbery is encouraged to call the Tamaqua Police Department at (570) 668-6100 or 911. Read the Times News stories for more details about the robbery. TWO REWARDS OFFERED Fegley's Mini Mart and Tamaqua Crime Watch are offering a one-time first person reward for a court used statement that leads to the arrest and conviction of this robber. Fegley's Reward is $1,000. Tamaqua Crime Watch's Reward is $250. |
