PITTSBURGH — An investigation is underway after a beer distributor was robbed in Allentown.
Pittsburgh Police say they were called to the 800 block of East Warrington Avenue at 2:30 p.m. on Friday.
Witnesses at Beer Bros. say a young man with a gun came into the store and demanded money.
One person fought with the robber, but he was still able to get away with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Police say the robber was last seen running behind a business and towards Beltzhoover.
“I work hard, so I come and get my two beers and fall asleep at home,” Amber Weaver said.
By the time she made it to Beer Bros. Friday, news of the armed robbery had already reached her.
“To be honest, not that surprised in this neighborhood. A little bit of ‘ooh that sucks’ but not too shocking here.”
Robbery units are investigating.
