‘Hustling every single day’
Armed robbery suspect stymied by plainclothes Union Twp. duo
Responding to an armed robbery report, Union Township
Police Officers Thomas Florio and Peter Simon soon found
themselves in a fight.
The pair was assigned to an area where another robbery had
occurred a few days earlier during December 2014. Wearing
plain clothes and sitting in an unmarked squad, they knew the
move paid off when a call came in about a man with a knife
who’d robbed someone in a liquor store parking lot.
“(We had) been on the hunt for this guy. Sergeant put us in
the area and luckily the guy hit. Dispatch put out a great
location and description
