Facial Tattoos Lead Police To Delco Armed Robbery Suspect

As it turns out, Christopher Wettlaufer's facial tattoos may not be so "suave" after all.

Authorities in Delaware County say those facial tattoos were clues that led to police to the 19-year-old Lansdowne man, who was wanted for an early-morning armed robbery.

Upper Darby superintendent of police Michael Chitwood told the Philadelphia Inquirer it was "not hard" to identify Wettlaufer, who was easy for the victims to spot in a photo lineup.

Wettlaufer has been charged with robbery, conspiracy, possession of a weapon, simple assault and related crimes, according to court documents.

He was arraigned Wednesday and is being held at the Delaware County jail on $250,000 bail, court records show.

Wettlaufer pulled a gun during an early-morning robbery in the Drexel Hill section of Upper Darby on July 20, the Delaware County Times reported.
