The crime occurred at Philly Pretzel Factory, 7366 Frankford Ave., at about 8:50 p.m. when a man wearing dark clothing and a black scarf over his face entered the store and forced his way behind the cashier’s counter, where a 19-year-old man and 17-year-old girl were working.

The intruder pointed a gun at the clerks, who emptied the contents of a cash register onto the counter. The robber grabbed an undisclosed amount of cash and fled northbound on Frankford Avenue. He was described as white with green eyes, 6 feet tall, stocky, wearing a black Nike jacket with two horizontal white stripes, a black cap, black sneakers and the aforementioned scarf on his face.
