Armed Philadelphia teens terrorize neighborhood pizza shop employees and steal $3,000 – before going on to abduct 22-year-old man waiting for a bus

A gang of teenagers armed with guns and gardening tools terrorized a pizza parlor in Philadelphia and then kidnapped a 22-year-old man at a nearby bus stop.

Philadelphia police are on the hunt for a group of four men in their late teens or early twenties who are wreaking havoc in the city.

The group of boys robbed a pizzeria and then kidnapped a man to steal his money and belongings in one night.

Armed with weapons, the hooligans were caught on CCTV entering the pizza shop – Bally’s Pizza – at 12.26pm on October 9 as an employee was closing.

Before entering the pizzeria on Mascher Street in the city’s Olney neighborhood, they had pulled into a white SUV where an employee was loading his pickup for the restaurant.

Salin Jnou was the employee responsible for the packing work that evening. He said, ‘I never saw a gun to the front of my face until I saw them here in my store’

They then forced the worker inside and jumped over the store’s barrier to surround the other employee. They threatened him with their weapons, in the form of two firearms and some kind of dangerous garden tools.

‘I was shaking, I was worried. But I didn’t do anything wrong, no matter what they told me, I said, ‘Okay.’ My hand on top. “Whatever they asked me for, I said, ‘Okay guys, okay guys, okay guys’ until they left,” Jnou said.

“He jumped on the counter with a gun and said, ‘Give me money!’ More, more, more money!”, owner Nikolaos Calivas said FOX 29.

The suspects took $3,000 from the cash drawer and searched both of the employee’s pockets for more money.

Calivas said they wanted to know where the safe was, but he said his restaurant doesn’t have a safe.

‘We are afraid to work on the streets now. You also have to have eyes from behind, and eyes everywhere,” Calivas said. ‘It’s hard, it’s really hard. We hope that the city can do something for us. We have to feel safe.’

Just hours after their first attack, two boys from the white SUV approached a 22-year-old man who was waiting for the bus. The boys forced the 22-year-old into the SUV – where a third man was waiting in the driver’s seat

They fled when neither employee had any more money to give them.

Just hours after their first attack, two boys from the white SUV approached a 22-year-old man who was waiting for the bus.

The boys forced the 22-year-old into the SUV – where a third man was waiting in the driver’s seat.

After being kidnapped by the suspects, the man was driven around as they demanded money from him.

They drove to a nearby laundromat where the teens forced the man to withdraw money from an ATM three times.

The suspects eventually dropped the victim off at the laundromat, but according to the Philadelphia State Police Department, they stole his phone, Apple Watch, Air Pods and other belongings, as well as an unspecified amount of money.

Philadelphia residents have criticized a recent wave of violent crimes that has seen more than 750 people shot since late May, while a series of high-profile incidents have rocked the crime-ridden city.

Philadelphia has been plagued by crime in recent months, with brutal reports of theft and looting.

Shocking footage from the City of Brotherly Love shows Fine Wine and Good Spirits being beaten up during a flash robbery in September.

The animals made off with the safe and raided the lottery machine on a night when liquor stores were closed by authorities.

Police said they had made at least 52 arrests. At least 30 people, all but three of whom were adults, have been charged with burglary, theft and other charges, according to Jane Roh, spokesperson for the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office.

Philadelphia residents have denounced a recent wave of violent crimes that has left more than 750 people shot since late May, after a series of high-profile incidents rocked the crime-ridden city.

Philadelphia’s newly elected mayor will have her work cut out for her in the crime-ridden city.

The city voted for a Democratic mayor who promised to crack down on crime in the troubled city by supporting stop-and-frisk tactics.

Cherelle Parker, 51, was elected last night in an overwhelming vote as the city’s 100th mayor, and the first female mayor, to hold office at the state and local level.

Parker emerged from a crowded field in the May party primaries as the only leading black candidate, and was heavily favored over Republican David Oh in the Democratic stronghold city.

She is also the first Black woman to hold the post after building her campaign on a promise to make Philadelphia the “safest, cleanest and greenest big city” in the country.

Parker has also been more outspoken in her support for law enforcement than other Democrats in the City of Brotherly Love, including a desire to implement stop-and-frisk for officers.
