According to a Feb. 6 Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) news release, two suspects responsible for multiple robberies in North Philadelphia’s 22nd and 26th police districts have been detained.
Timothy Ballard, 33, and Kevin Wilson, 27, were identified as suspects after many anonymous tips about the robberies were given to the PPD. Because of the community’s tips, the identities of the suspects were solidified and given to local news outlets on Dec. 2, 2011. Wilson then turned himself in four days later, on Dec. 5, and Ballard did the same on Feb. 1, 2012.
