Philadelphia Police are looking for suspects wanted in connection with a series of strong-armed robberies in the area of 18th and Diamond streets between Aug. 23 and Sept 10.

On Aug. 30, at 5:00 p.m., a 21-year-old woman was robbed on the 1800 block of Diamond Street when a man grabbed her wallet which contained her identification and credit cards. About an hour later, a woman was caught on surveillance video using the victim’s credit cards at a grocery store on the 1800 block of Diamond Street

A few days later on Sept. 2, at 12:30 p.m., a man was forced into a doorway by the male suspect who took the victim’s iPhone out of his pocket and fled. 

The suspect is described as a 17 to 20-year-old black man of medium build and medium complexion with a beard. He was seen wearing a green shirt and blue jeans.

Authorities are unclear whether the robberies are connected or if the suspects are working together.
