A Penn Hills man is being held in the Allegheny County Jail following the robbery of a convenience store in North Versailles Twp.

Anthony D. Leone, 44, is charged by North Versailles police in connection with an Oct. 3 holdup of the Speedway on Route 30, according to a criminal complaint. Police said Leone was identified in part by witnesses after township police posted surveillance photos on social media.

He faces a preliminary hearing Nov. 7 before Magisterial District Judge Roxanne Sakoian Eichler.

According to the complaint, a man armed with what appeared to be a handgun held up the store just after 9 p.m. Oct. 3 and fled in a dark gray Ford SUV.

Township police obtained surveillance photos from the store and posted them to Facebook, according to the complaint, prompting three persons to come forward and identify the man in the photos as Leone.

Leone had previously been living in a halfway house for substance addiction but had left without permission, the complaint states, and was wanted for escape by the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office.

On Tuesday evening, North Versailles police said they spotted a gray Ford SUV broken down along Old Fifth Avenue and identified one of the two men with the vehicle as Leone, according to the complaint.

Police said the SUV had been reported stolen Oct. 3 from Penn Hills, and that the license plate on the vehicle had been taken from another vehicle, the affidavit states.

Leone was arrested and is charged by township police with robbery, receiving stolen property, theft by unlawful taking, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person, court records indicate.

Separately, Leone faces a hearing in Pittsburgh Municipal Court next Wednesday on the escape charge, court records indicate.
