PHILADELPHIA - Investigators with the Philadelphia Police Department are working to identify three people caught on video robbing a gas station in Port Richmond.
According to police, the robbery occurred on Tuesday at 2:05 a.m. on the 3200 block of Richmond Street. Authorities say one suspect stayed at the front entrance of the store as the second and third suspects entered the store.
The second suspect approached the cashier, made a gesture as if he had a gun in the waist of his pants and ordered the store employee to put his hands in the air, according to police.
Officials say the second and third suspects then began hitting lottery play machines with sledgehammers to remove and steal the cash boxes.
