by Alex Lloyd Gross
Several males are wanted by Philadelphia Police for kicking in the door of the Smokers Zone which located on the 6800 block of Rising Sun Avenue. This theft happened on October 27, 2020 just after 3;00 AM.
Once two males kicked in the door, several others joined in and ransacked the store, stealing merchandise. At one point, one of them grabs two hookah pipes, then sets them down. He left without them. They forgot that security cameras are everywhere and they were captured on video which you can see below. They made their escape in a car with a distinctive dent in the left side. This car was parked close by. No direction of travel was given.
