UNKNOWN SUSPECTS

PENNSYLVANIA CRIME STOPPERS IS OFFERING A CASH REWARD FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO AN ARREST OF THE UNKNOWN SUSPECTS IN THIS CASE OF ROBBERY.

Several Chester County Police Departments including the Caln Township Police, Valley Township Police, Coatesville City Police, and the Pennsylvania State Police, Troop J, Embreeville, continue their investigation of multiple robberies that have occurred in Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Tuesday night, March 10, 2009, was the most recent Robbery in a string of Robberies that have taken place in Chester County. This Robbery occurred at approximately 11:30 p.m. at the Wendy’s Restaurant located at 3480 East Lincoln Highway in Caln Township. The suspects entered the business through the drive-thru window. The suspects worked quickly; taking money from all the cash registers and the office safe. They also took a cell phone from one of the employee’s purses.

Of the three suspects, the victims described one of them as the “leader” and in control while the other two were “along for the fun”. The suspect that was “in charge” remained after the other two suspects fled the building. After he discovered another safe the suspects initially overlooked, he also demanded the money from that safe.

The suspects exited the business through different areas of the business, using the rear service door and the public entry door on the south side of the building, toward the railroad tracks. It is possible one of the suspects left through the drive-thru window.

The suspects are described in the following manner:

Suspect # 1 – “the leader” a black/male, in his 20s to 30 years of age, 6’0” tall, with a medium complexion, and deep voice. He was wearing a black ski mask, a plain black sweatshirt, black Dickie pants and black sneaker boots. He was armed with a black semi-automatic pistol.
