Police: 2 boys, 1 girl sought in assault and robbery of woman on Philadelphia street

PHILADELPHIA - Authorities are searching for three young suspects who they say assaulted and robbed a senior citizen who was walking down a Philadelphia street last week. 

Investigators say the incident happened last Thursday around 6 p.m. on the 400 block of Willings Alley.

While she was on the ground, police say the kids stole her iPhone and wallet that contained $50, credit cards, and the victim's ID.

Nearly a week after the attack, police shared surveillance video of two boys and a girl wanted for the assault in hopes that the public will help identify them.
