Two men with bandanas covering their faces held up a local Wawa early May 12.
Both men walked into the convenience store located at 1604 S. Columbus Blvd. at 1:35 a.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. One man with a thin, black automatic handgun with ridges on the side said, “open up the register” to the cashier while the other man went behind the counter and took $124 before both ran out of the store and southbound on Columbus.
The gunman fired a shot in the air before fleeing out of the store, Tolliver said.
The men were described as black and age 20 to 25. The armed man was 5-foot-10 to 6 foot, 200 pounds and wearing a black hoody, black sweatpants or Dickies and a blue bandana on his face while the other male was 5-foot-5, 120 pounds and wearing a red and black checkered Rocawear hoody, blue jeans, Timberland boots and a white bandana on his face.
