PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Police are searching for three men they say broke into a grocery store last month in Southwest Philadelphia and stole several thousand dollars.
It happened around 3 a.m. on Feb. 23. Surveillance footage released by police shows two men trek through the snow in the back of Mi Tienda Hispana on 70th and Elmwood streets with a tool of some sort.
They then disappear, and a different pair returns about three hours later, approaching the back door with what appears to be the same tool as before. One went inside and stole a laptop, cellphone and several thousand dollars in cash before taking off on foot westbound along Elmwood Avenue.
If you have any information on these suspects or the break-in, police urge you to contact 215-686-8477.
