Surveillance video shows two men pull up to a North Philadelphia gas station on Broad Street, walk right in, and steal the ATM.
You see two men dressed in all black get out of a dark, late-model Hyundai Tucson.
They walk into the store at the Getty gas station, they point at the cashier - one of them grabs what looks like a gun hiding in his hoodie - while the other suspect drags the ATM out of the store and into the trunk of their car."You have a lot of students here that aren't used to the inner city and they don't necessarily understand that this is an impoverished area and has been for a long time, so it's very concerning," said Noah Steinke of North Philadelphia.
Customers who frequent that gas station said they leave their cash at home and only pump gas during the day.Meanwhile, on Thanksgiving night, two other suspects dressed in dark clothing and ski masks reportedly stole $40 worth of merchandise from a Sunoco gas station mini-mart on North 17th Street."I'm a father of eight daughters and I'm concerned about them every day," said Clinton Brown of West Philadelphia.
Not to mention, the theft rate in that district is 1.2 times the citywide rate making it the third highest rate in all PPD districts.
