Female 'Ninjas' Rob Richland Gas Station With Sword, Dagger

September 22, 2007


RICHLAND TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- Police said two women dressed as ninjas were responsible for the hold-up of a Richland Township gas station Saturday morning using a samurai sword.

Police said the two women -- one with a dagger, and the other carrying the sword -- entered a Sunoco station in the 5600 block of Route 8 at about 3 a.m.

According to police, the women tied up the clerk and robbed the store of cash, cigarettes and lottery tickets

"They were all covered in black and carrying swords, so it did appear that they were dressed like ninjas," said Chief Robert Amman of the Northern Regional Police Department. "Swords, daggers could be used to seriously harm victims, so this is a very serious crime."

Police said the clerk was not harmed and is OK.

No arrests have been made and no suspects have been identified.

Rick Lekki said it was hard for him to believe that a robbery occurred across the street from his business, R and J's bar.

"It's shocking. Things like that just don't happen out here. I just can't believe it happened," Lekki said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.

Wow. Robbed and tied up by two female ninjas. How can that NOT be as sexy as it sounds?

Perhaps, if they run out of leads, they should question the Ask a Ninja guy...

If they were real ninjas nobody would know that the crime was committed by ninjas. If they were really good ninjas, nobody would have known the crime was committed at all.

No one would even remember the store existed....

Ninjas control the past now, so they control the future.

For the love of god don't let this thread turn into a pirate vs ninjas thread.

Thanks!

I think this speaks for itself.

I like how they stole lottery tickets. Don't those have serial numbers or some such for distribution?

Yes they do. That's what makes this story for me. They will be caught, unless they stole them for the sheer pleasure of scratching.

Hehe, and you misspelled "apostrophe." Sorry, I get a kick out of grammar/spelling-Nazis making grammar/spelling mistakes in their own corrections.

I'd be worried if we had ninjas robbing stores. I'd be VERY worried if we had ninjas who rob stores so they can get stuff to scratch.

Other possibilities: They plan to sell them, they plan to use them as money since they have a dollar value written on them, they plan to burn them in protest of the gambling industry...
