EBENSBURG —
A Twin Rocks woman has been charged with robbing a CoGo’s convenience store where she once worked.
Dana Lynn Conzo, 24, was charged Tuesday with robbery, theft, receiving stolen property and credit card fraud.
Cambria Township police alleged that Conzo and two men wearing bandannas over their faces entered the Ebensburg CoGo’s at 4534 Admiral Peary Highway at around
1:30 a.m. April 7. They restrained the female clerk with plastic cable ties.
Police allege that Conzo opened the cash registers and took money, then found a key and opened the safe.
The three made off with $499 in cash as well as cigarettes and energy drinks valued at $613, police said.
The robbers also took the clerk’s purse, which contained a ring valued at $1,000.
Police said Conzo used the clerk’s PayPal card at a Sheetz store to buy movies. She also sold some of the stolen cigarettes in the Nanty Glo area.
Nathan Stohon, Cambria Township’s officer in charge, said police received a tip from an inmate at
the Cambria County Prison that Conzo had confessed to the robbery.
The inmate told officers “Conzo was talking about how they tied the woman up and stole her wallet.”
Police said they have recovered some of the cigarettes but no money or jewelry.
Conzo has yet to be arraigned by District Judge Frederick Creany of Ebensburg. She is being held in the county prison on a probation violation.
Police said Conzo is a former employee of CoGo’s and reapplied for a job the day after the robbery.
The investigation is continuing.
