Suspect arrested after Youngwood vape shop robbery
Summary
State police arrested Christopher A. Fisher, 36, of North Union, Fayette County, in connection with an armed robbery at Youngwood Tobacco and Vape on Oct. 30. An anonymous tip led authorities to Fisher, who was arraigned Thursday evening on charges of robbery, terroristic threats, reckless endangerment, and related offenses. Troopers said a man entered the shop around 10 p.m., pointed a gun at the clerk, and took $4,000 from the cash register and $2,000 worth of kratom tablets. Surveillance images were released to the public, and later a tip allowed police to track Fisher's license plate on Route 119 south and match the timing to the robbery. Fisher admitted to the robbery when arrested, is being held at Westmoreland County Prison without bail, and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Dec. 2.
