Robbery Arrest

On Sunday, May 25, 2025, at approximately 7:32 PM, Abington Police Officers responded to a reported armed robbery at the Lukoil Gas Station located at 1945 Old York Road.  The male suspect in this incident entered the gas station while skating on rollerblades and lifted his shirt to show that he was armed with a handgun and a knife.  The suspect demanded the employee at that location provide him with money from the cash register and also threatened to shoot the employee in the chest if he did not cooperate.  After the suspect received the cash, he skated out of the store and fled from the area.

Abington detectives initiated an investigation and identified the suspect as 32-year-old Michael Gordon of Hatboro, PA. During the course of the investigation, they determined that Gordon was also responsible for three similar robberies that occurred in recent months in Philadelphia and Feasterville.

On Wednesday, July 3, 2025, Abington Detectives coordinated with the Upper Moreland, Philadelphia, and Lower Southampton Police Departments to take Gordon into custody on the 300 block of S Warminster Road in Upper Moreland Township.

Gordon was transported to the Abington Police Headquarters, where he was charged with multiple offenses, including Robbery (F1), Aggravated Assault (F1), Theft by Unlawful Taking (M1), Possession of an Instrument of Crime (M1), and Reckless Endangerment (M2), among other charges.

Gordon was arraigned by Magisterial District Judge, James P. Gallagher and bail was set at $99,000 cash.  He has been remanded to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility.

  

CRIMINAL CHARGES, AND ANY DISCUSSION THEREOF, ARE MERELY ALLEGATIONS AND ALL DEFENDANTS ARE PRESUMED INNOCENT UNTIL AND UNLESS PROVEN GUILTY.
