Police Search For Suspect In Radnor Township Attempted Robbery

RADNOR TOWNSHIP, Pa. (CBS) - Radnor Township police are investigating the attempted armed robbery of a jewelry store Thursday afternoon.

At about 4 p.m., police responded to the Amirian Jewelry store in the 200 block of W. Lancaster Avenue in the Wayne section of Radnor Township.

According to police, two of the owners reported that a Hispanic-looking male entered the store and demanded jewelry from the glass display counter.
