Police are looking for two men in connection with a violent armed robbery that occurred back in October at a Somerton store.
Authorities released surveillance video of the incident on Wednesday. Two men with handguns entered Five Star Shoe Repair, 10785 Bustleton Ave., around 3 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 20.
They demanded money, and, when the 67-year-old employee said he didn’t have any, they beat him over the head several times with their guns, police said. The gunmen took off with $500 and the man’s identification and cellphone.
Police said the employee was transported to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital in stable condition.
Anyone with information about the suspect or the robbery is asked to call Northeast Detectives at 215-686-3153/3154. All tips will be confidential. ••
