According to Butler Twp. police sergeant Mark Morgan, the suspect, who also had another man with him, was able to get away with $150. The other man did not approach the women at the vehicle, but rather stood nearby.

The men were last seen traveling south through the Walmart parking lot in a vehicle similar to a black Jeep.

The suspects were described as males and one is believed to be 20-years-old, 5-foot 6, medium build with a short afro style haircut, wearing a grey hodded sweatshirt and pants and red shoes, police said. The second was said to be in his late teens or early 20s, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and black tennis shoes or boots.

The women were not harmed during the robbery, but are still “pretty shaken up,” according to officials.

The incident remains under investigation and anyone with information are urged to contact police.
