This Wawa is located in the Country Lakes section of Browns Mills (558 Lakehurst Rd.). Employees at the Wawa reported that a black male subject entered the store wearing a ski mask, produced a handgun and demanded cash from the register and the store safe. After receiving the cash (approximately 2100 dollars) the suspect left the scene in a vehicle that was waiting for him in the parking lot. None of the store employees were harmed during this robbery.
Patrol officers were quickly able to identify the subjects involved. They began responding to different residences around the Township in order to make arrests.
The initial investigation revealed that the handgun used in this robbery was actually a pellet gun. This pellet gun was modified to resemble a real firearm. A large amount of the cash taken from the Wawa has been recovered and returned to store management. Michael Anderson, 19, 45 Aster Street, Browns Mills, a store employee, has been arrested for his involvement in this robbery. He has been placed in the Burlington County Jail in lieu of $25,000 bail. The two male juveniles, a 17 year old and a 15 year old, that were involved have been placed in the Burlington County Juvenile Detention Center.
