Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying and locating multiple suspects who robbed Richmond Check Cashing at 2990 Richmond St. in Port Richmond. The incident occurred on Saturday, September 12 around 8:30 AM.

The incident occurred when two employees were opening the business. Two unknown males were observed getting out of a car wearing ski masks while the employees were in the process of opening the store for the day. Both suspects entered as one employee, a 36-year-old man, tried to close the door to keep them out. They kicked the door open, striking the employee.

Once inside, suspect #1 tackled the employee, knocking him to the ground while also dropping a firearm. Suspect #2 also had a firearm but picked up suspect #1’s as well. Suspect #2 then demanded access to the back room. As the employee was giving the suspects the code the alarm sounded, forcing them to flee.

They left in a hunter green custom passenger van with chrome mag wheels driven by a third suspect. They did not take anything.

Suspect #1 is described as a black male in his mid 20s to 30s, 5’7”-5’8”, wearing a gray sweatshirt, black ski mask, dark-colored pants and armed with a handgun.

Suspect #2 is described as a black male in his mid 20s to 30s, about 6′, around 220 lbs, with a dark complexion, wearing a black sweatshirt, ski mask and armed with a handgun.

Suspect #3 was the driver and is described as a black male around 40 years old with a light complexion, heavy build, beard, wearing a black rolled-up hat.
