On Saturday morning, Falls Township police were called to the Exxon gas station in the 200 block of West Trenton Avenue in the Morrisville section for a report of a robbery.
It was determined that a man walked into the Exxon at 8:42 a.m. and had a handgun tucked into his waistband. He signaled for the clerk to give him the cash in the register, police said.
The suspect got the cash and the clerk’s iPhone and fled the scene on foot toward the Nolan Park Apartments. He may have escaped in a gold or brown older-model sedan, police said.
