UPDATES:

These men are suspects in a string of burglaries that happened all over Philadelphia in between March 6, 2015 and September 13, 2015.

The first incident occurred on March 25, 2015, when they burglarized Philly Pharmacy at 9475 Roosevelt Boulevard, stealing boxes full of medications after unlocking the building. The suspects again stole medication from Academy Pharmacy at 10101 Academy Road later that night.

The group forced their way into a Wells Fargo ATM on 7598 Haverford Avenue on June 9, 2015, stealing an undetermined amount of cash. The crime is extremely similar to another incident of ATM theft that occurred on May 10 at 2910 S. 70th St.

On September 14, 2015, the group burglarized Grange Pharmacy at 5751 N. Broad St. After forcing their way into the building, they seemed to seek out specific medications and stole them. They also tried to break into the safe using a power saw but were alerted by a lookout and left.

More information about their crimes can be found here.
