Police Searching for Possible Serial Robber

Police investigators in Camden and Gloucester counties, including here in Gloucester Township, believe the same man is responsible for a rash of armed robberies in their towns since Thursday.

It is believed the same man, armed with a knife in most cases, has robbed convenience stores in Gloucester, Cherry Hill and West Deptford townships and a TD Bank branch in Washington Township, Gloucester Township Police Capt. Anthony Minosse said.

The robbery spree appears to have begun at the Church Street 7-Eleven in Blackwood Thursday night.

After robbing the TD Bank on Route 42 in Washington Township Friday afternoon, the police theory goes that the suspect robbed the 7-Eleven store on Evesham Road in Gloucester Township's Glendora section Friday night before robbing a 7-Eleven store in Cherry Hill and another convenience store in West Deptford on Sunday.

After successfully robbing the Blackwood 7-Eleven Thursday night around 11 p.m., it is believed the same suspect entered the TD Bank at 5200 Route 42 in Washington Township at around 2:10 p.m. Friday, slipped a teller a demand note and fled the bank with an undisclosed amount of currency.

Investigators believe the same man then robbed the Glendora 7-Eleven at knifepoint Friday night, according to Minosse, then hit the 7-Eleven at 721 N. Kings Hwy. in Cherry Hill around 1 a.m. Sunday and .

Gloucester Township Police described the suspect as a white male who is between 30 and 40 years old, about 6 feet tall and between 170 and 190 pounds following Thursday's robbery in Blackwood. The man reportedly was wearing a dark gray sweatshirt, a baseball hat, dark pants and white sneakers when he robbed the Church Street 7-Eleven on Thursday night.

It appears the robber has worn the same or similar clothing in all of the robberies, Minosse said. He also poured himself a cup of coffee before pulling a short knife and robbing both Gloucester Township convenience stores.

Gloucester Township Police urge anyone with information about the robberies or the suspect to contact police dispatch at 856-228-4500 or the township's crime tip line at 856-842-5560.
