The 26th District is being targeted by a pickpocket team that operates in bars predominately in the lower part of PSA 2 and PSA 3 (Fishtown and Northern Liberties). Their method is to sit down next to a patron, usually at the bar counter and then remove credit cards out of the patrons wallet or purse. The suspects then purchase several gift cards before the victim is even aware anything is missing. Below are pictures of the two males and one female captured on video. If you have any information on the suspects’ identity, please forward it to police. If you see them inside your restaurant/bar please call 911 immediately and do not alert them. (215) 686-3260 Police.CPO_26@Phila.Gov Email: Police.CPO_26@Phila.gov Thank You!
