Philadelphia police are asking for the public's help Monday identifying three suspects accused of stealing a case of beer in front of security cameras at a Port Richmond distributor.
The Philadelphia Police Department said the incident occurred Wednesday around 12:50 p.m. at Total Beer at 2431 Castor Ave.
According to police, the trio entered the store and obtained a case of Angry Orchard. The female suspect approached the counter and placed the beer near the automatic sliding door. As a male suspect distracted an employee by pretending to make a purchase, another male suspect kicked the case closer to the exit. A short time later, according to police, the group left the store with the merchandise without paying.
Police said the three were seen fleeing the scene in a red 1999 Acura sedan.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the East Detective Division at (215) 686-3243/3244.
