Chief Inspector Scott Small said, “It was clearly a sign of a robbery because the cash register was open. There was money on the floor and there was also some broken glass inside the store and there was also a large amount of blood.”
Police believe the wounded suspect to be one of three men who robbed a CVS Pharmacy just prior to the alleged attempted robbery of BOLD Pizza, WPVI noted.
