Man fled on foot with cash, police said

Police continue to investigate the armed robbery of an Aberdeen gas station last month.

An attendant at the BP station on Route 35 was robbed at knifepoint by a white male, about 6 feet tall with a thin build wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt, at about 1 a.m. on Oct. 20, according to township police.

The man’s sweatshirt—featuring a rectangular design or some sort of writing—was used to cover his face, police said. He wore dark jeans and gloves.
