HEMPFIELD TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Police are hoping surveillance video from a gas station robbery in Westmoreland County can help catch the thief.

It happened two weeks ago at the BP on Route 136 in Hempfield Township.

Police are hoping the robber's clothing and unusual demeanor help break the case.

“There’s a person that comes in completely covered from head to toe in clothing with a hoodie. The hoodie has a Pittsburgh Steelers emblem on it, but what’s unique about the hoodie it has a piece of tape or something on the left shoulder which I think is very unique," Pennsylvania State Trooper Steve Limani said.

Police said the suspect was also wearing a Mortal Kombat-style mask.

But, Trooper Limani said, what stands out the most is that the suspect was calm and unrushed.

“He’s very nonchalant and it would lend itself to believe someone that has done something like this before just by his actions. Generally, people that are new at this are more frantic quicker moving ... this person is very nonchalant in the store," he said.
