Armed suspect kidnaps person in Wawa parking lot, forces victim to drive and get cash: Police

WARMINSTER TWP., Pa. (WPVI) -- Police in Warminster Township, Bucks County, are searching for the suspect in connection with an armed robbery that started at a Wawa early Tuesday morning.

According to police, the incident occurred around 1:37 a.m. at the Wawa located on Davisville Road.

The victim told police that the suspect emerged from behind a nearby tree and entered the back seat of the victim's unlocked, unoccupied vehicle.

When the victim returned to the car after leaving the store, police say the suspect displayed a knife and ordered the victim to drive to multiple ATMs to withdraw cash.

Police say the suspect forced the victim to drive to a PNC Bank in Warminster, then to the FCCB bank in the Justa Farms Shopping Center in Upper Moreland Township.

The suspect eventually told the victim to drive to the German Club in Warminster, where he exited the vehicle and fled.

Steve Feuchter, the vice president of the club, was surprised to learn about what happened.

"Yesterday morning the office staff called and said there were police officers on the grounds with a search dog. The police said they were looking for a suspect from a robbery," Feuchter said.

The club sent a letter to members, informing them of what happened. Leaders are now considering boosting their security.

"We'll probably put up some, maybe eventually put some outdoor motion sensors or lighting and also some outdoor cameras," Feuchter said.

No one was hurt, but police are still looking for the suspect.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Warminster Police Department at (215) 672-1000.
