A man parted with his wallet and lunch bag last week in Newbold.
Walking on the 1500 block of South 15th Street at 7:10 a.m. Feb. 20, the complainant became the pushing victim of an unknown man who had approached him from behind with an accomplice, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Falling to the ground, he replied to the first stranger’s demand for money by saying he had none.
The persistent figure then insisted the complainant give him his wallet, which contained identification and bank debit cards. Before running northbound on 15th Street with his ally, Tolliver said, the thief added the man’s lunch bag to his spoils, having taken it from around his prey’s neck.
The victim described the main offender as white, approximately 35 years old and 6 foot; having a thin build, a fair complexion, dark brown hair and a full beard; and wearing a red Phillies hoodie, dark blue jeans and red and white sneakers. He labeled the second as a black man, approximately 35 years old, 5-foot-10, having a medium build, a dark brown complexion and a shaven face; and wearing a black puffy jacket with a black skull cap and dark jeans.
