Police are looking for a man who was caught on camera June 13 robbing a Wissinoming Wawa at knifepoint.
Investigators said the suspect entered the Wawa at 6001 Harbison Ave. shortly before 3:45 a.m.
The man allegedly waited until an employee was finished waiting on a customer.
He can then be seen walking behind the counter and putting the cashier in a headlock.
Police said he pulled a knife on the worker, demanding money.
The employee opened the cash register and the suspect stuffed wads of bills in his pockets.
The man took $300 in cash before fleeing the store on foot, according to authorities.
He was last seen running north on Harbison Avenue.
The suspect is described as a black male, 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9, between the ages of 20 and 30. He was last seen wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and black shorts.
