Philadelphia police are requesting the public's help in locating a suspect wanted in connection with multiple commercial robberies in Logan Circle.
In surveillance video released by police Tuesday, an unknown male suspect can be seen entering a 7-Eleven at 2200 Market St. on Aug. 18 at 3:35 a.m.
He is seen asking for cigarettes. When the employee bags the items and requests payment, the suspect pulls a can of Mace from his right shorts pocket and sprays the employee in the face, police say. According to authorities, he then flees the store with the cigarettes, valued at $62.
