People that attack others are not brave. Especially, when they do it when the other person is minding their own business. Two males spotted a man on the 700 block of West Venango Street. He was minding his own business when the two thieves decided to jump the male and they put him in a choke hold.
One male held him as the other went through the victims pockets, taking some cash and a Samsung cellphone. They forced the victim to the ground and then ran away. The two thieves were not too smart as they were caught on camera and they went into a corner store nearby where the camera got a great photo of who they were.
Police want to put names to the faces. Take a look at the video to see if you recognize any of the males.
