Joseph T. Makell, 22, of Darby is wanted on armed robbery charges after allegedly placing a pizza order on Nov. 9 and arranging for it to be delivered to a random address in Yeadon, according to the FBI and the Yeadon Police Department.

When the delivery driver arrived shortly before 9 p.m., Makell and at least one other unidentified suspect pointed a gun at him, stole his car, and fled the scene, authorities said.

Investigators believe Makell is also responsible for at least two other armed robberies of delivery drivers in the area.

He is described as a Black male, approximately 5’9” tall and weighing 150 pounds. 

Authorities say he should be considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact Yeadon police Detective Leah Cesanek at 484-832-6995 or lcesanek@yeadonpd.org, or the FBI at 215-418-4000. Tipsters can remain anonymous.
