PHILADELPHIA, PA — Philadelphia police are asking for the public’s help in identifying three suspects wanted in connection with two commercial burglary incidents that occurred within about 30 minutes of each other in the city’s 3rd District.
According to Philadelphia police, the first incident occurred at approximately 11:45 p.m. on June 9 in the 1000 block of Pine Street.
Investigators reported that surveillance video allegedly shows two suspects attempting to break into Smoker’s Point while a third suspect remained nearby and acted as a lookout. Police did not report that the suspects gained entry during that incident.
Roughly 30 minutes later, at approximately 12:15 a.m. on June 10, the same three suspects were allegedly captured on surveillance video in the 1300 block of South Street, according to police.
Investigators allege the third suspect again acted as a lookout while the other two suspects approached Papi’s Mini Mart & Tobacco. Police reported the suspects allegedly shattered a glass entryway, entered the business and removed several items before leaving the scene.
Anyone with information about the identities or whereabouts of the suspects is asked to contact the Philadelphia Police Department’s South Detective Division at 215-686-3013 or 215-686-3014.
All suspects, arrestees, and defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
