Philadelphia Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying two women connected to an armed robbery that took place in Northern Liberties on Sunday, August 23.

At about 6:15 AM a 21-year-old man was walking with his friend on the 900 block of Canal Street. According to police, the men encountered the women and followed them into a gold Buick Rendezvous. After getting in the car, a black male sat up in the back seat and pointed a gun at the victims, saying, “you know what this is.”

A struggle ensued after the man pulled the gun out. One of the victims grabbed the gun out of the assailants hands. One of the complainants heard someone yell “I’m shot” after they were able to escape the vehicle.

Police describe the two women as follows: Suspect #1 is a black female, with a medium-brown complexion, freckles on her face and chest, tattoos on her arms and chest and an “Aquarius” tattoo on her lower back. Suspect #2 is a black female, with a medium-brown complexion, wearing a black top and black tights. To submit a tip via telephone, dial 215.686.TIPS (8477) or text a tip to PPD TIP or 773847.
