PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police are on the lookout for an armed robber who stole handfuls of cash from a 7-Eleven convenience store in Northwood earlier this month.

He then points a gun at the clerk and demands the worker open the register.

The robber left with as much cash as he could carry and cigarettes.

He then fled and was last seen east on Pratt Street.
