Westmont Dollar Tree Robbery Added to Charges Against Mt. Laurel Man
Eric R. Harbinson, who also had a previous address in Audubon, was charged in the January 2013 robbery of the store—and several others within weeks of the incident.
Haddon Township police have charged a Mt. Laurel man for the January 2013 robbery of the Dollar Tree store in the Westmont Plaza on Cuthbert Boulevard.
The arrest was announced last week.
Police say Eric R. Harbinson, 29, robbed the discount store shortly before closing time on Jan. 30, and then fled on foot. He was charged with robbery and theft.

Harbinson was apparently a busy man earlier this year.
Maple Shade Police arrested him in February 2012 after he allegedly flashed a gun at a CVS clerk on Route 73.

Then Cherry Hill police determined that Harbinson was also their man in two separate Rite Aid robberies in that town.
Harbinson has previously been convicted on theft charges, both in Burlington County, in 2006 and 2011, for which he was sentenced to five years of probation.
This isn't the first time this Dollar Tree location has been targeted, either.
