by Ryan Dickinson

PHILADELPHIA, PA – The Philadelphia Police Department is seeking assistance in identifying individuals seen in a video clip.

These individuals are believed to be involved in a looting incident at the Aldi grocery store.

The store is located at 5200 Whitaker Ave.

Last month in Philadelphia, looting incidents transpired following a judicial decision. A judge dismissed charges against a former police officer, Mark Dial, who was involved in the shooting death of 27-year-old Eddie Irizarry, triggering the looting spree on the same day​​.

Various establishments were targeted, including an Apple Store on Walnut Street, and Footlocker and Lululemon stores near 15th and Chestnut​.

The looting led to a heightened police presence and radio calls reporting the incidents around 8:18 p.m.

However, no arrests were made at the time concerning the Apple Store looting incident​​. Besides material losses, the chaotic event was also marked by violence, with at least 11 people, including two teenagers, being shot in the area where the looting occurred​4​.

The public is asked not to approach these suspects and to contact 911 immediately if they are spotted.

Individuals with any information can also dial 215.686.TIPS (8477) or send a text tip to the same number.
