Elijah Whittingham was identified as the suspect and remains at large following a robbery on the 100 block of S. 15th Street around 3:10 p.m. on Saturday, July 3, WFMZ reports citing local police.

But he’s no stranger to the criminal justice system — in June of 2021, Whittingham was accused of wielding a handgun and demanding cash from employees at the Express Mini Market on Butler Street in Easton, DailyVoice.com reported.

He was charged with robbery, firearms not to be carried without a license, theft, and receiving stolen property.

Just six days prior, Whittingham was apprehended for a series of attempted car break-ins in Bethlehem, resulting in charges for theft from a motor vehicle, disorderly conduct, purchase, consumption or transportation of liquor, and possession of marijuana, police said.

Anyone with information about Whittingham’s whereabouts is asked to contact Easton Police or 911.
