Police are searching for two men for their roles in Queen Village- and Point Breeze-situated robberies.
The second incident involved a female walking along the 700 block of Passyunk Avenue at 8:10 a.m. Oct. 19. Heading to her job, she encountered two unknown males, with the first pointing a gun at her and the second demanding money, police said.
After obtaining her purse and cell phone, they fled on Fitzwater Street to a parked gray or green Toyota Camry to leave the area. Surveillance video showed the first suspect going through the purse and then discarding it after he had removed items of value, police said.
The complainant described the main offender as black, 18 to 20 years old and 6 foot; having a dark complexion and medium build; wearing a dark hoodie and dark pants; and armed with a handgun. She classified the other as Hispanic, 18 to 20 years old and 5-foot-10; having a light complexion and a thin build; and wearing a gray hoodie.
Authorities are also looking to identify the two for an 11 p.m. Oct. 17 robbery on the 700 block of South Fourth Street and a 6 a.m. Oct. 22 incident on the 1300 block of South Fifth St. In the first, they rid a man of credit cards, and iPhone and $15 before using the same vehicle to escape, and in the second, they harassed a female and obtained her debit cards, keys and a cell phone, also calling on the car to flee, police said.
