A video has been released by the Philadelphia Police Department that shows three males on the Route 23 bus at 3:20 PM. Cameras are everywhere including on buses. These guys were presumably coming home from school. It is unknown what they learned in school, but when the citizenship class was taught, these guys either did not pay attention or were absent. This incident took place on February 27,2023 but the video was just released today.
They spotted a victim and followed him off the bus. they surrounded him and told him: that this was a hold up.
Offender #1 then approached the complainant and stated, “I don’t want to make this hard and I don’t want to shoot you”, while motioning for the complainant to hand over his belongings. The complainant gave up his iPhone 13 and other items. The offenders fled eastbound on Willow Grove towards Germantown Ave. It is at that moment that they stopped being productive members of society and turned into hoodlums.
They got on the bus at Germantown and Chelten and sat near the victim.
