Police release surveillance video of Target store robbery in NE Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA - April 22, 2014

It happened Saturday night just after closing time at the Target in the 11000 block of Roosevelt Boulevard in Somerton.

The surveillance video shows each male suspect entering the store separately, each talking on a cell phone as he enters.

The video then shows the armed suspects emerging from the men's bathroom after the 10:00 p.m. closing time and instructing a store employee to open multiple cash registers.

The suspects then methodically empty each register of cash before walking out of the store with hoods pulled up over their heads.

Investigators say the thieves made off with between $10,000 and $30,000 in cash.

The three men were last seen heading toward the Haldeman Manor Apartments in the 10000 block of Haldeman Avenue.

Suspect #1: Black male, 5'5", dark complexion, wearing glasses, black hooded sweatshirt with "make the dream real" on the front, gray pants, army green sneakers, and armed a handgun.
