Horsham Armed Robber Sentenced

A man who robbed a Horsham 7-Eleven as well as two nearby stores with what he said was a BB gun has been sentenced to serve three to 12 years in state prison, prosecutors with the Bucks County District Attorney's Office announced.

Brandan Greisser, 22, of Philadelphia pleaded guilty in January to three counts of robbery, possession of an instrument of crime, terroristic threats, recklessly endangering another person and theft by unlawful taking.

An accomplice in two of the robberies, 29-year-old Michael S. Landis Jr. of Horsham, was sentenced in March to serve two to six years in state prison.

All of the robberies occurred within three days of each other, information from the Bucks County District Attorney's office said. On July 11, he robbed a 7-Eleven store at 100 E. Moreland Ave. in Horsham, escaping on foot with $100 and a pack of cigarettes.

Two days later, on July 13, Greisser and Landis robbed another 7-Eleven store at 320 E. Street Road in Lower Southampton Township. The men got $318, which they divided and spent at Parx Casino, the District Attorney's office said.

Less than two hours later, Greisser attempted to rob a third 7-Eleven in Warminster at 25 Newtown Road. Greisser pointed a gun at an employee and demanded money, but fled empty-handed when the employee started walking to the back of the store, prosecutors said.

The guns were never recovered. Both Greisser and Landis told investigators they were BB guns.

Greisser blamed the robberies on his drug addiction.

He is still awaiting trial in Philadelphia on charges of possession with intent to deliver cocaine.
