WEST GOSHEN – A career criminal recently released from prison on a prior robbery charge is in custody after a point of gun robbery and attempted carjacking at a township drug store.
West Goshen Police responded to the Rite Aid in the West Goshen Shopping Center on Paoli Pike at 18:49 Friday evening for a report of a robbery. The suspect, Gary Glasco, 64, allegedly entered the store and pointed a gun at an employee, announcing "this is a robbery." Glasco reportedly took $303.00 in U.S. currency from the store before fleeing the store.
Glasco then fled the store and reportedly attempted to carjack a woman who was parked in front of the nearby Acme supermarket. The victim told police that Glasco had pointed a gun at her and that hse had attempted to flee in her vehicle. Glasco eventually fled on foot towards the entrance of the shopping center at Paoli Pike before police arrived to take him into custody. The store employee and carjacking victim positively identified Glasco as the perp.
Glasco reportedly gave a statement to police where he admitted to both the robbery and the attempted carjacking. He also stated that he was "recently released from prison for robbery and is currently a fugitive." A look at online records do show prior convictions for robbery in Montgomery County and other offenses in Philadelphia, though these offenses date back to the 1970's and 1980's – on-line records are not entirely clear as to the disposition. Glasco has been booked into jail in the past under different names, which makes an accurate on-line search of Pennsylvania records difficult.
Glasco was arraigned by Pottstown District Judge James D'Angelo on charges of Robbery, Robbery of a Motor Vehicle, Possession of a Firearm Prohibited, Carrying a Firearm Without a License, Possession of a Prohibited Offensive Weapon, Terroristic Threats, Receiving Stolen Property, Simple Assault, and REAP. Glasco was committed to CCP in lieu of $150,000 cash bail; a preliminary hearing is tentatively set for Thursday in front of West Goshen District Judge William Kraut (15-2-03, CR-0000248-09).
