CHESTER, Pa., Jan. 28 (UPI) -- Pennsylvania state police allege a 38-year-old man robbed a tanning salon and a bathing-suit store using needles he claimed were infected with HIV.
State police said they are seeking Kevin Michael Cox in connection with this week's robberies in Delaware County, Pa., that resulted in the theft of $314 in cash, the Philadelphia Daily News said Thursday.
Police allege Cox used two syringes to threaten a clerk at the Cameo Water Wear store on Sunday before making off with $264.
"These two needles are HIV-positive -- open the register or I'll stick you," Cox was quoted by police as telling the clerk.
Police said Cox also robbed the California Sun Mega Salon on Monday, stealing $50 in cash by brandishing as many as four syringes.
"'I have these needles and I'll use them if you don't give me the money," Cox was quoted as saying during the second theft.
The Daily News said Cox's current whereabouts are unknown, but authorities suspect he may be traveling with a white female.
