Robbers sought in moving company heist

Surveillance photo

Two armed men robbed a Tacony moving company on Sept. 27, leaving detectives with a color surveillance video of the heist.

The unknown robbers walked into Superior Moving at 5101 Unruh Ave. at about 4:45 a.m. The front door was unlocked. Once inside, one robber pulled a gun and handed it to the other robber, who pointed the weapon at an unidentified victim. The crooks stole an undisclosed amount of cash, forced the victim to the floor and fled in an unknown direction.

Police did not say if the robbers stole money from the business or from the individual victim.

One robber was described as black with long dark hair and a gray zip-up hooded sweatshirt. He also wore jeans, a black undershirt and sneakers. The other crook was described as black, wearing a baseball cap and zip-up jacket with black and white horizontal stripes. He also wore jeans and a white undershirt.
