The Philadelphia Police Department is looking for a suspect in connection with the robbery of a Dollar General in Yorktown.

“After the employee opened a safe, the suspect removed two bags containing an unknown amount of money,” cops said, “and cash from the cash register placing it in a yellow Dollar General bag.” The suspect then reportedly fled on a red bicycle.

Police described the suspect as a black male in his late 30s wearing thick black rimmed glasses, a green scarf, a green knit hat, ashy black pants, cream colored pants and a brown v-neck sweater.

The PPD encouraged anyone with information to contact them at 911 or 215-686-TIPS (8477). Members of the public may also text tips to PPD TIP (773847) or submit tips online.
