Man arrested after threatening to burn down his apartment building following an argument

Cinnaminson Township Police were called to the AT&T store at 1253 S Route 130 around 8 p.m. on August 16 for a report of a robbery in progress. Upon arrival, officers observed a getaway vehicle speeding away from the parking lot. Meanwhile, a second suspect exited the store and fled on foot after being confronted by Officer Josh Lillagore.

Officer Lillagore pursued the suspect on foot, but the suspect evaded capture by hiding in the nearby Sweetwater Condominium complex. A perimeter was quickly established and Officer Harry Cicale, along with his K-9 partner Bane, began searching for the suspect. Bane was able to successfully locate the suspect in a bush within the complex. Officers Robert Young and Kai Leibfried then arrested the suspect without further incident.

The suspect, whose name was not released, is charged with second-degree robbery, third-degree conspiracy, third-degree attempted felony, third-degree resisting arrest by escape, fourth-degree obstruction of justice and fourth-degree tampering with evidence. He was booked into the Burlington County Jail.

Authorities believe the suspect is connected to approximately 33 other robberies in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Cinnaminson Township Police Department thanked the Maple Shade, Riverton and Palmyra police departments and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) for their assistance in the incident.
