The Laureldale Borough Police are investigating a robbery that occurred on Monday, November 18, 2024 at 6:18pm at the Hershey Harvest Store located at 3337 Kutztown Rd. The Hersey Harvest Store is located at the intersection of Kutztown Road and Elizabeth Ave. in Laureldale Borough.

The male suspect entered the front door and went to the counter where the cash register is located. The suspect in the attached photos stood at the register counting change in his hand. The suspect asked the clerk for a dime for the pennies he had. The clerk opened the register, and this is when the actor attempted to take money from the register. The clerk and suspect fought for the register. The clerk gave up the struggle over the register when she thought the suspect had a gun in his hand. The suspect took a small amount of money from the register and fled out the front door that he came in. He immediately turned right out of the door and fled across the parking lot crossing over Elizabeth Ave. and ran down the alley between Kutztown Road and Fairfield St. The black n95 type mask he was wearing was recovered in the alley.

Male actor was described as a white male, approx. 5’10’ with a beer belly, dark pants, blue hoodie with white paint stains spots on the front, possibly wearing black sneakers and was wearing a black n95 type mask. The male looks like he could be in his late 50’s to 60’s.

LPD confirmed that the male subject was on foot prior to the robbery and came from the Temple area on Kutztown Road heading towards Reading. Security videos showed the male walked on the even side of Kutztown Road from the area of Margaritta’s Restaurant 3600 block of Kutztown Road. Continued walking on Kutztown Rd crossing over Bellevue Ave. and eventually walked in front of the LPD police department to Elizabeth Ave. The suspect stopped at the intersection of Kutztown Rd and Elizabeth where he crossed over Kutztown Rd. to the other side of the street. He walked up Elizabeth Ave to the area of Fairfield St and turned around to walk back down to Kutztown Rd. The subject then crossed over Elizabeth Ave where he walked towards the front door of Hershey Harvest and committed the Robbery.

After committing the robbery, he ran back towards Temple down the alley off Elizabeth Ave. between Kutztown Rd and Fairfield St. We are not sure where he went from there, but we are still attempting to look at security videos from residents in the area.
