Oak Creek PDQ Robbed At Gunpoint

OAK CREEK, WI — Police are searching for an armed robber after he reportedly held up the PDQ on S. 27th St. just before 5 a.m. on Aug. 21.

According to police reports, the suspect entered the store and patiently waited for everyone else to leave before making his move.

Once the suspect was the only one in the store, he approached the counter and asked the clerk how much Swisher Sweets and Black and Mild cigars cost.

The suspect decided to buy the Swisher Sweets. When the cash register was opened up by the clerk, the suspect reportedly lifted up his shirt and displayed a handgun in his waistband and stated "give me all the money."

The suspect reportedly demanded that the clerk open the safe, only to have the clerk state that they did not have access to it.

The suspect then requested a pack of Newport 100's and then left eastbound on College before stealing about $30-40 in cash.

The Franklin police department showed up shortly after the robbery with their K-9 unit in an attempt to track the suspect, to no avail. The K-9 officer managed to pick up a scent leading to a trailer park, but when the gravel transitioned to pavement, the scent was lost.

The suspect is described as a black male, about five-foot-ten and in his mid-30s. He was wearing a white baseball cap, a black hoodie, a white undershirt, appeared to be about 160 pounds and had a face tattoo.
