Those with information about the robber’s identity or whereabouts are being asked to call the Philadelphia Police Department.

“This Wawa is one of the remaining 24-hour locations in Philadelphia and has remained open after two other stores closed earlier this year,” Fox 29 reports.

The two stores were closed due to “safety and security challenges.”

“We are very sorry we can’t be there for our friends and neighbors at these two locations,” Wawa said in a statement at the time. “Philadelphia is our hometown and that’s something that will never change.”
