A Facebook post helped police to nab a Delaware County teen Wednesday.
At 5 p.m., police received a tip identifying the 17-year-old of Boothwyn, who allegedly was responsible for a robbery that took place at 4:47 p.m. Tuesday at Qin’s Grocery, 1100 W. Moyamensing Ave., after that tipster had seen a surveillance photo on the department’s Facebook page, according to the Police Public Affairs Unit.
The teen entered the corner store armed with a handgun and demanded cash from the employee behind the counter. He fled with $200 south on 11th Street then east on Porter Street on foot.
The juvenile will be charged with robbery and related charges.
