The Bryn Mawr Shop was robbed by two men Dec. 19, Lower Merion police said Monday.
As an employee was leaving the store at 1:07 p.m. Dec. 19 with a bag full of bank deposits, a black man approached from behind and grabbed the bag, according to Lower Merion Police Supt. Michael McGrath. No weapon was seen or implied in the robbery, and the employee was not injured.
The man was about 30 years old, 6-foot-5, with short hair and a light goatee, McGrath added. The man immediately fled the area in the passenger side of a blue sedan driven by a white man, he said.
