The Philadelphia Police Department is looking for a suspect in connection with tworobberies in West Oak Lane.
Both of the robberies occurred at Little Caesars pizza franchises.
ThePPD reported that, shortly after noon on Dec. 22, “an unknown male entered Little Caesars pizza located at 7152 Ogontz Avenue and approached an employee, a 17-year-old female, who was behind the cash register.” Authorities said the suspect passed the employee a note which stated,”Put the money in a bag.” The suspect then allegedly told the employee to “ring up a pizza to open the drawer.” In that incident, cops said the suspect made off with an undetermined amount of cash. As he was leaving, though, cops claimed he said, “Sorry if you get fired. Be safe out there”
