Police are investigating a gunpoint robbery that occurred inside of a West Philadelphia mini market last week and was caught on surveillance video.
The incident occurred back on Saturday, Jan 22 inside the Y & A Mini Market at 651 South 52nd Street. Police say the victim entered the store around 3:30 p.m. to cash out lottery winnings. As he went to leave, another man who was inside the store pulled out a handgun and told the victim to drop the money.
The victim complied and then left the store, as two suspects picked up the money and fled the store. They were last seen heading east on the 5100 block of Catharine Street.Anyone with information about the incident or suspects is asked to contact police.
Wow.. so you cash in your ticket not even thinking that the people around you might try to rob you?!?!
Not even about being aware of surroundings. Criminals are just everywhere and you don’t know who’s carrying weapons since new laws passed. They will shortly find themselves in the same predicament and might be worse.
Got to be aware of your surroundings.

Hate it for the victim, but loved that he dropped the money all over the ground instead of handing it to the creeps.
