FRANKFORD (WPVI) -- Cameras were rolling as two gunmen robbed a man outside a business in Philadelphia's Frankford section.

Police are now hoping that surveillance footage will lead to an arrest.

It was 12:04 on the afternoon of July 14th when the 32-year-old victim, holding a bag of cash, waited for another person on the 4600 block of Duffield Street.

That's when two men approached him, pointed their handguns at him and demanded the money inside the bag.

After the victim handed over the money the suspects fled the scene on foot.

The first suspect is described as a black male, 28 to 32 years-of-age, 5'8" to 5'9", 200 pounds, medium build, light complexion, with a full beard, wearing a White t-shirt, and blue jeans.
