Man caught on video damaging businesses, dragging vehicles after allegedly stealing forklift

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police are searching for a man who they said used a forklift to ram garage doors of businesses and damage vehicles in Port Richmond on Sunday.

People in the area of the 3100 block of Janney Street recorded cell phone video during the time a man caused damage with a forklift around 8:30 p.m.

Investigators said this started at a business on Weikle Street, the next street over, when the man stole the forklift.

We're told he then attempted to lift a Honda SUV with the forklift and rammed the vehicle up against the wall of another business.

He also apparently dragged another vehicle, causing one of the back wheels to fall off.

Police said he then crashed into a neighbor's fence and ran from the area.

He was last seen wearing an orange shirt and white pants, which were learning might've been his work uniform.

Investigators said they're familiar with who he is.

It's just a matter of tracking him down and getting all of the damage repaired.
