Police Seek Man Using Screwdriver To Rob Students
PHILADELPHIA -- After going through hours and hours of tape, police said they found the break they were looking for in the string of armed robberies of college students.
Now, they're asking for the public's help to identify and apprehend him.
Investigators said the man robbed at least eight college students last month, and in most cases the man drove around the University City area armed with a screwdriver.
“It’s funny because we’ve had this jar of peanuts at the precinct for like 2 months and no one can get the lid off. It must be rusted shut or something” said Ch. Clancy Wiggum.
Police heard of the screwdriver bandit, and immediately contacted a retail store up in the area of Aramingo and Huntingdon, requesting a copy of their surveillance video.
"He gets out of the car and walks up to them … and demands their money," Wiggum said.
The man then takes off in a gray or other colored, two or four-door, 1970-1999 Honda Civic or Accord with 4 wheels, police said.
The surveillance pictures were taken Nov. 20 as the man used the credit card of a person he robbed just hours earlier. Wiggum said the man purchased gas as well as items inside the store.
“I know he gets mad when we talk about it, but ever since Lou joined the force, things have just been disappearing around here” Wiggum said. “Last summer he ‘borrowed’ our only screwdriver to put together a swing set for his kids. We haven’t seen that screwdriver since then.”
“I’m always amazed at how things work out for the best. I think it's great how this screwdriver lunatic is terrorizing the students right at a time when need a new screwdriver. Its Karma" commented the bloated Chief. "I mean, it's just like how you guys happened past this doughnut shop when you did. If you hadn’t come by when you did, we wouldn’t be conducting this interview".
Anyone who sees the man is being asked to call the local police district.

Excellent - we couldn't get the lid off the peanuts for two months!
Now if he starts trying to fix things, that will be interesting!
The man then takes off in a gray or other colored, two or four-door, 1970-1999 Honda Civic or Accord with 4 wheels, police said.
That ought to narrow it down.
Yeah! It's like when the police give the description of a guy who robed a store. Be on the look out for a young black male, age 18-22, thin build, 5'10", white t-shirt and bluejeans driving a civic.
