Two men remain on the loose after robbing a Girard Estate establishment Monday.
Entering Radio Shack, 2437 S. 23rd St., at 6:57 p.m., the offenders initially posed as customers before producing handguns, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. After taking the workers into the back storage area and forcing them to lie down on the ground, they loaded iPhones, tablets and other items into a vehicle parked outside the back door.
Also scoring the employees’ personal belongings, which included cash, identification and a cell phone, plus the site’s video system console and $750, they left the area in a maroon Chevy Impala or Malibu sedan with tinted windows. The estimated loss approaches $35,000, Tolliver said.
The complainants described the first thief as black, 5-foot-9, 20 to 25 years old, having a medium build and complexion and a gap in his front teeth; sporting a beard with a mustache; and wearing a black baseball hat and a jean jacket; and the second as black, 5-foot-6, 20 to 25 years old, having a thin build and a light complexion; being clean-shaven; and wearing a black zip-up hoodie and tan pants, possibly Dickies.
