Authorities in Philadelphia are searching for a man seen on video using a hammer to smash through a store window and steal expensive women's handbags.

Authorities in Philadelphia are searching for a man seen on video using a hammer to smash through a store window and steal expensive women's handbags. Investigators say the smash-and-grab happened Friday just after 2:00 a.m. outside a business on the 4300 block of Main Street in Manayunk. The suspect, described as a Black man in his 40s with a full ‘salt and pepper’ beard, is seen loitering outside the business for several minutes before the robbery.

Joe Donahue Owns Urbanburb Furniture, a consignment store just a few blocks down from the smash and grab break-in."It's really scary, I mean, I don't think people realize how much windows cost and how much damage that does to a business when you take a hammer to a window like that, and take out inventory," said Donahue. With big windows showing off his merchandise, Donahue says he has a serious security system, but admits that's not always enough.
