Thief swiped the cash in a flash


By Dan Gesslein
Cops are looking for a flashy thief who stylishly robbed a Boston Road gas station last week. 
At around 8 a.m. on April 24, the suspect entered the Pelham Parkway BP station at 2475 Boston Road. Wearing a brown kangol hat and a blue jacket the suspect walked up to the counter and flashed the cashier. He lifted his shirt to reveal a black handgun in his waistband and demanded cash. 
The suspect is described as an African-American male in his 30s seen wearing the kangol hat, blue jacket, blue jeans and white sneakers. Police released the still from the gas station’s video camera in the hopes of finding him.
