On Tuesday, Malik Williams, 27, was arraigned on charges alleging he and an unidentified man worked together to destroy the machine and steal thousands of dollars from it at the Sunoco at 2767 Lincoln Highway on Nov. 19.

Bensalem police had sent out a news release in late November asking for help identifying the two who destroyed the machine, according to the department.

The department received tips which led investigators to identify Williams as the “lookout,” during the robbery, court documents allege.
