Authorities in Westmoreland County are looking for a man who they say is armed, dangerous and on the run.

Police say he stole five rifles and has allegedly threatened to harm any officers who try to arrest him.

Police described the suspects as members of a "start-up gang," but within 24-48 hours, police said they were able to disband it and get all of the suspects into custody except for one.

Police tell Channel 11 that Antonio Wilkins was involved in a rash of break-ins Friday night where handguns and rifles were stolen from as many as 20-30 cars in the Laurel Highlands Campground in Donegal Township. Police say Wilkins was there visiting his 15-year-old girlfriend, along with several other friends.

Investigators say on Thursday night, some of those same suspects were involved in a robbery and shooting in the Sonic parking lot in Hempfield Township.

Anthony Casson was a former employee of Sonic, and police say, he knew what time employees would be leaving with the night bag of cash.

Casson, and three others, are accused of trying to rob an employee, but when her boyfriend fought back, police say Preston Casady fired a round, but missed.

Casady is now facing attempted homicide charges.
