A group of hoodlums is raising causing problems in the Kensington, area. They are dangerous and police want to stop them. They are armed and someone could get hurt. It’s only a matter of time before they rob the wrong person and get shot themselves.
On October 9,2023 an employee of Bally’s Pizza located on the 5200 block of North Mascher Street was closing up shop He was in his vehicle when a white SUV, possibly a GMC Acadia with a partial PA# Tag JFK-44. Four males got out of the vehicle, two hand guns, and one grabbed a pipe. They then entered the store and left their fingerprints all over the counter when they were too stupid to figure out how to maneuver it. One male jumped onto the counter and left his footprints all over it.
They took about $3000.00 from the cash register and then rifled through the pockets of the two males. When they could not get any money from them, they ran away, back to their car and went south on Masher Street. This theft happened at 12:26 AM and was caught on camera.
The second happened at 5:10 AM when a 22 year old male was waiting for a bus near Front and Wyoming Street. The same group of thugs arrive in a white SUV. They abducted him and gun point and told him to hand over his belongings and ATM with his PIN. They then drove him to a laundromat at Front and Wyoming where he withdrew cash from an ATM. They then went back to the same laundromat two more times for money. They then took him back to the laundromat where they kicked him out of the vehicle before they took the victim’s phone, apple watch, air pods and other belongings.
