Responsible firearm ownership means always knowing where your guns are. They should not be misplaced. That being said, one male learned the hard way when he accidentally left a red pouch n the counter of the Rite Aid Store at 260 W. Lehigh Avenue. Inside the pouch were two pistols. He laid them on the counter, got distracted with a purchase and left them on the counter. This happened on October 9, 2022. Police released the video last week.
A few minutes later, a black male enters the store. He makes a small purchase and sees the bag. It is unknown if he knows what is in the bag or not but as soon as he is given his receipt he quickly grabs the pouch and tries to shove it under his sweatshirt as he is leaving the store. You can see the video below.
