Police are searching for two men who commenced a robbery in Hawthorne and concluded it by stealing a man’s car in Center City.
At approximately 9:30 p.m. Monday, the complainant was about to enter his 1100-block-of-Kater-Street-situated car when two unknown men approached him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The primary stranger showed him a handgun before rifling through his pockets before the aggressor’s accomplice inspected the automobile.
The males had the driver take them to the TD Bank at Broad and Sansom streets, where they forced him to withdraw money from an ATM. The lead offender then instructed him to drive them to Juniper and Drury streets, Tolliver said, and ordered him to leave once they arrived. He did so and flagged down police at 13th and Sansom streets.
The offenders made off with his 2004 Pontiac Grand Am sedan, license plate number JMJ-8530; keys; $300; wallet; identification; a Nike watch and a Sprint cell phone. He described the first as black, 25 to 30 years old, 6 foot; having a thin build, a medium complexion, low short cut hair, thin goatee and mustache and stubble on sides of face; and wearing a white short sleeve T-shirt with red writing on the front, black sweat pants with white stripes on the sides; and armed with a silver and black semi-auto handgun. A detailed description of the other suspect was not available at press time.
