Philadelphia police search for suspects in string of violent robberies in Fishtown, Kensington
Philadelphia police are searching for four young men who they believe are linked to five early-morning robberies in the city's Fishtown and Kensington sections.
The robberies happened Wednesday between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. at 1600 N. Frankford Avenue, 30 E Columbia Street, 1300 E Oxford Street, 1400 E Oxford Street and 1300 E Columbia Avenue. Nicholas Borman was the third victim. He said he was leaving for work when he was attacked and robbed around 5:40 a.m. "One small guy said something to me and the other one clocked me and I fell on the pavement. They were rifling through my pockets and everything. It was kind of like I can't believe this is going on," said Borman.
A neighbor, who did not want to be identified, said now the entire neighborhood is fearful that this group of four was able to do so much in such a short amount of time and no one stopped them."I'm a mother, it really does bother me. So young, misguided. You got to know where your kids are. It is sad a really sad world we live in. They're going to run into somebody with a license to carry and they're going to be dead. Parents wake up and find out where your kids are.
