Local Philadelphia police are currently on the search for a suspect who stole about $20,000 from a safe at a Dunkin' Donuts on Friday, CBS News and the Philadelphia Police Department reported.
According to footage from surveillance cameras set up throughout the Dunkin' Donuts at 6201 Front St. in Philadelphia's Olney section, the robbery took place at around 4:30am EST on June 15th. The footage shows the suspect walking up to the store and using a crowbar to open the drive-thru window, noted the footage and CBS News. Once inside the store, the suspect went into an office door, after having broken into it, and stole a safe that contained the money.
The suspect pushed the safe out of the drive-thru window and ran away carrying the safe and money inside. The suspect, who was identified as male, according to the Philadelphia Police Department video footage, is of an unknown race and about 5'9" - 5'11" in height, with a thin built. The suspect was shown wearing a black mask, t-shirt, and blue jeans, with white sneakers.
This is one of many crimes that took place at Dunkin' Donuts shops this weekend throughout the United States. On the morning of Saturday, June 16th, a man from Long Island, N.Y., got into a fight with another customer of an Amityville Dunkin' Donuts, reported the ABC News, and in a fit of rage began to shoot at the other man's car.
The shooter followed the other driver to his car, and then shot the vehicle with a handgun as he crossed over the Sunrise Highway overpass, said ABC News. The second person was not injured, as the bullete hit the front wheel of their car. The suspect in question was described as a dark-skinned bald black man with a full beard, listed ABC's Eyewitness News, around 30-40 years old and six feet tall. He was wearing a green and black hat, white T-shirt, and brown shorts over his 200-pound and muscular frame.
On Friday and Saturday, a Dunkin' Donuts on 106 Sisson Ave. in Hartford, Conn., was robbed twice in the span of 12 hours, reported local News 8. The first robbery, said local police, took place at around 10:14pm on Friday night, and on Saturday morning, a man entered the store through the drive-thru window and demanded money from the employees present. He took off with an undisclosed amount of money, and neither suspects have been found.
