Footage from the back of a Wawa, which neighbors the gas station, shows a car driving up with four men inside. One stood at the front door of the store while the other two entered. The fourth man stayed in the car as the getaway driver.
Police say one offender motioned to the cashier that he had a gun and told the employee to put his hands up. One man then hit the lotto machine with a sledgehammer, and they took the cash boxes and fled.
They took off in a newer model white Ford Escape.
