Wayland Police are looking for a man who made off with $1,600-worth of Western Union money orders from the Sunoco on Main Street.

Tyler B. Kim, 24, was fired from Sunoco last week, but returned Tuesday evening and robbed his one-time employer, Det. Sgt. Jamie Berger explained.

A clerk in the store at the time of the robbery attempted to dissuade Kim from taking the money orders, Berger said. Kim, however, brushed past the clerk and continued with the robbery. No weapon was shown and no one was injured in the incident.

The clerk contacted police, but Kim fled the scene in a dark-colored four-door Acura sedan prior to officers’ arrival. His address is unknown, but police have obtained a warrant for Kim’s arrest.

“The Wayland Police Department is actively seeking Mr. Kim,” Berger said. “Anybody with information about his whereabouts is asked to contact the Wayland Police Department at 508-358-4721.”

Individuals wishing to remain anonymous can call the anonymous tip line at 508-358-1726.
