RELEASE: Four Stores Hit in Local Robberies

Limerick Township police confirmed that four armed robberies occurred in the area early Wednesday morning. Suspects Daniel Joseph Mungin of Spring City and Kyle Raymond Weikel of Upper Providence were allegedly involved in the crimes.

Limerick police were first notified of the robberies after the crime was committed at the Royersford 7-11, 301 S. Lewis Rd, according to police.

"The store clerk reported a male wearing a hockey mask, entered through the front door holding a large knife or sword," police said. "The male came behind the counter pointing the large knife at the clerk and said, 'Give me the money.'"

The store clerk gave the robber an undisclosed amount of money. The robber then fled on foot.

Police report that around 5 a.m. the 7-11 on High Street in Pottstown was robbed by the same suspect, who was later identified as Mungin. Pottstown police detained Mungin and soon after found Weikel in a red Honda Civic, which was parked in the rear of the building. Police said a hockey mask and machete were found in the vehicle.

Two other robberies were also reported and store owners positively identified Mungin as the offender according to the report. Store locations included another 7-11 on Main Street in West Norriton Township (occurred late Tuesday night) and a Sunoco in South Coventry Township. The robberies that occurred in these stores included an undisclosed amount of money and cigarrettes.
