Rollerblading armed robber escapes with cash after threatening gas station worker in Abington Township, Pennsylvania, police say

ABINGTON TWP., Pa. — Authorities in Pennsylvania are on the hunt for a suspect who conducted a gas station robbery on rollerblades this past Sunday evening.

It happened around 7:34 p.m. on May 25, 2025, at a Lukoil in Abington Township, Pennsylvania.

According to police, the suspect entered the store on rollerblades and displayed a handgun while also carrying a knife in his waist.

He allegedly demanded cash from the register and threatened to shoot the 19-year-old employee if he did not comply.

“He was yelling at me for no apparent reason, ‘Hand over all the money!’ His voice was quite loud, and at that moment, I felt a bit frightened,” explained the employee, who goes by Armaan.

Police say the suspect threatened to shoot Armaan in the chest.

“The worker handled the situation remarkably well by staying composed and deliberate with his actions,” commented Det. Sgt Troy Hummel of the Abington Township Police Department.

Armaan, who was uninjured in the incident, then handed over the cash.

“When it’s time for him to leave, he just showed me one more time a pistol and said, ‘You are lucky guy,'” Armaan recalled.

The suspect was last seen skating southbound from the scene.
