PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Police Department is asking for the public's help to identify two suspects caught on video robbing a market in Olney.
According to police, the robbery occurred on Thursday night just before 8:00 p.m. at a deli on the corner of the 200 block of West Olney Avenue.
Authorities say two masked men entered the store and one threatened a store employee with a black handgun while the second man went to the back of the deli and removed an ATM in the back.
