Police seek masked thieves caught on camera robbing convenience store at knifepoint

AMBRIDGE, Pa. — Authorities released surveillance video Monday of a robbery at a convenience store in Ambridge in the hope that someone will recognize something about the suspects.

Ambridge police said two people walked into the CoGo’s convenience store on Duss Avenue around 11 p.m. Jan. 8. Authorities believe the person in the full mask is a man, who had a large knife that he used to threaten employees, demanding cash.

Police believe the second person is a female who had her face covered with some type of pink material. Authorities said she went to the back of the store to let in a third person.

Officials said the man left in the front of the store threatened three employees, demanded that they get on the floor with their hands behind their backs and then took everything out of the cash register.

Authorities said what wasn’t captured on surveillance video was the two other thieves in the back forcing a fourth employee to open a safe.

All three robbers fled on foot through the back door, police said.

Ambridge police released the video only to Channel 11 News in the hope that someone knows something and will come forward with information that leads to an arrest.

“We're hoping they recognize their clothes, their build, anything,” Ambridge Police Lt. Brian Jameson said.

Jameson said officers are checking other surveillance cameras in the area to see if they picked up anything as well.
