Robber Threatens to “Blow Away” Cashier Over Cigarettes

Police in Pembroke Pines are looking for a man who threatened a cashier with his life for cigarettes.

It happened in April at the Westar Gas Station at 6650 Pines Boulevard, next to Broward College South Campus.

Police say the man requested six cartons of cigarettes, but his credit card was declined. When the cashier tried to take back the cartons, the robber put his hand in his waistband and said "Give me the cigarettes or I'll blow you away."

The cashier complied and the man took off in a gray vehicle. He is described as about 30-years-old, just over six feet tall and about 200 pounds. He has brown/red hair, brown eyes, tattoos on both arms and is missing a front tooth.

If you have any information about this crime, call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
