Police are hoping the above image can solve a three-week-old Point Breeze robbery.
As first documented in the South Philly Review June 12 (“Patience is a vice”), the complainant was walking along the 1400 block of Mifflin Street at 1 a.m. June 7 when he noticed two unknown figures following him. Feeling unsafe when he reached South Hicks and Mifflin streets, he sought refuge in a watering hole to avoid a confrontation, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He remained inside for five minutes and continued walking eastbound on Mifflin Street after not observing them.
After crossing South 15th Street, he heard footsteps and soon felt a gun pressed against his back. Turning around, he saw the same two shady individuals and gave them his Samsung Galaxy cell phone, Beats Pro headphones, Michael Kors gold watch and white Louis Vuitton belt when they barked “Give it up,” Tolliver said. The pilfering males fled on foot, with their prey last seeing them heading northbound on South 15th Street.
