PHILADELPHIA, PA – The Philadelphia Police Department is investigating after a man allegedly stole two firearms left in an unsecured pouch at the checkout counter at Rite Aid on Lehigh Avenue.

Last Sunday, at around 6:30 pm, the victim completed his purchase and left a red zippered pouch containing two firearms at the checkout counter and left the store. When he went back in to get the guns, the bag was gone.

Police identified a suspect after viewing store security footage.

Video surveillance depicts an unknown black male taking the pouch and tucking it under his sweatshirt as he left the store.
