Posted: Updated:
PHILADELPHIA -

What began with a man asking about employment at a Philadelphia Dunkin Donuts shop on North Broad Street ended with the man flashing a gun and demanding money.

Philadelphia police are now looking for the suspect involved in Sunday's robbery of the Dunkin Donuts on the 4700 block of North Broad Street.

Police say it happened at 2:45 p.m., when the man entered the store and asked an employee behind the counter about employment.

Surveillance video shows the employee talking to the suspect right before he reaches into his pocket and reveals a handgun.

Police say the employee then gave him an undetermined amount of cash. The suspect left the store and was seen heading west across Broad Street.

Police describe the suspect as a black man between the ages of 22-25. He was clean-shaven with visible tattoos on his hands and face. Police say he had a teardrop or star tattoo by his right eye. He was last seen wearing a light-blue hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, and white and black Adidas sneakers.

If you have any information, you're asked to call police at 215-686-TIPS (8477). You can also text a tip to police at 773847.
