Pottstown-Area Man to Be Charged in Kiwi Yogurt Holdup

An 18-year-old South Coventry man who was arrested Thursday in connection with a Delaware County armed robbery is also expected to be charged by Montgomery County officials in connection with , according to Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Ferman.

Adam Robert David was , Delaware County late Thursday afternoon at the Coventry Mall near Pottstown. He was charged with the Wednesday night armed robbery of a Domino's Pizza store in Radnor.

In that incident, the robber entered the store, walked behind the sales counter, and announced a robbery while pointing a black semi-automatic handgun at an employee, police said.

Police said the robber handed a plastic bag to a store employee and ordered him to place all the cash from the store's register and safe into the bag. The robber then fled the store.

"As a result of subsequent investigation, the Radnor Police Department, along with the Upper Providence Police Department in Montgomery County, developed a suspect," later identified as David, Radnor Police superintendent William Colarulo said in a press release.

Detectives also recovered "a BB gun with a blue steel frame," which Radnor police identified as the weapon used in the Domino's robbery.

Last Saturday, an unidentified white male walked into the Kiwi Yogurt shop in the Providence Town Center shopping complex shortly after the store opened. He reportedly produced "a large gun" from a bag and ordered everyone in the store to get on the floor. Employees fled through the rear of the store, where the gunman confronted the store's manager and asked her to open the safe, which she was unable to do. The man then took an unknown amount of cash from the store's registers and fled in a blue Audi.

That suspect was described as a tall, thin white man with a pale complexion who appeared to be in his late teens or early 20s. David is listed by Radnor Police at 6 feet, 3 inches tall and weighing 165 pounds.

Upper Providence Police Chief Donald Sherid said Friday morning that his detectives interviewed "a person of interest" in the case on Thursday night. Friday afternoon, Upper Providence police spokesperson Kim Haines told Patch that the case had been turned over to the district attorney's office and that assistant district attorney Justin Boehret would prosecute the case.

David reportedly told authorities that he abandoned his car in a wooded area off Sanatoga Road in Limerick Township. Limerick Township Police Chief William Albany told Patch Friday that police had recovered a 2004 blue Audi from the location specified by David.

David, whose last known address was listed by Radnor Police as the 3000 block of Coventryville Road, Pottstown, was charged with robbery at the point of a gun, simple assault, reckless endangerment, theft, receiving stolen property and related charges.

Patch could not immediately confirm an additional report that David's parents had provided information that led to his arrest.

The Main Line Times reported that David was arraigned Friday on the Radnor Township charges and was being held on 10 percent of $500,000 bail.

An official announcement of the Montgomery County charges against David is expected on Monday.
