A couple who were in the process of moving were robbed at gunpoint last month inside a Wissinoming home, police said.

The suspect, who was caught on camera, walked through the open door of the property on the 2000 block of Sanger Street around 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8, while a 42-year-old man and his 45-year-old girlfriend were packing and cleaning, authorities said.

He pointed a gun at the couple and demanded their money and cell phones. After grabbing $1,900 in cash and two phones, he fled the scene, heading eastbound toward Torresdale Avenue, according to police.

Anyone with information about the incident or the suspect is asked to contact Northeast Detectives at 215-686-3153/3154. All tips will be confidential. ••
