Daily News | Police arrest Philadelphia man who police say went on two day, inter-county crime spree

Investigators pieced together a trail that led them to Austin after they say he went on a crime spree that started late Sunday and continued into early Monday and included holding up a driver at gunpoint in the city, shooting an elderly couple in Bucks County, and holding a clerk at gunpoint in Chester County.

About 30 miles away, at around 12:30 a.m. Monday, Pennsylvania State Police troopers responded to a report of a home invasion and armed robbery in the Franklin Station subdivision in Middletown Township, Bucks County, according to the affidavit of probable cause for Austin’s arrest. When troopers went inside the house, they found a couple suffering from gunshot wounds, the affidavit said.

At 2:17 a.m. Monday, West Goshen Township Police responded to a report of an armed robbery at the gas station. The night shift employee told officers that around 1:30 a.m., a silver Chevrolet Malibu pulled into the gas station and a man wearing a black mask, green Northface jacket and black pants got out of the car, authorities said.
