WAYNE–The man who allegedly robbed a woman at gunpoint in the parking lot of Starbucks in Wayne will have a hearing in the Court of Common Pleas next month.

Hassan Grimes is facing charges of robbery and theft after allegedly stealing jewelry and credit cards of a Berwyn woman on the morning of May 5.

The victim testified in district court Tuesday that as she was about to put her one year old daughter into her car when a man approached her from behind, holding her arms and putting a gun to her face.

“Do not turn around. I have a gun and will shoot you,” the victim testified that the man who robbed her said.

She said she only saw part of his face and described him as an African American with facial hair. She could not identify Grimes as the perpetrator.

But Grimes admitted to Radnor police that he did use her credit cards at a Target, Victoria’s Secret, Game Stop and Starbucks in Springfield, about 12 miles away.

Detective Joseph Paolantonio said that the first credit card charge was made at 10:25 a.m. at Target. Police and the victim believe the crime took place at about 9:59 a.m.

Paolantonio said that Grimes told police that he got the credit cards from a person in Philadelphia at about 9 a.m. that morning.
