Robbery of the Wachovia Bank Today

The FBI and the Philadelphia Police Department are seeking the public's assistance to identify and locate the subject responsible for the armed robbery of the Wachovia Bank branch located at 6912 Ridge Avenue earlier today.

At approximately 9:15 a.m., two unidentified males entered the branch, brandished semi-automatic handguns, and threatened the employees. The subjects are described as black males, in their 20’s, 6’0” tall or taller, thin builds, wearing baseball caps, sunglasses, and dark hooded sweatshirts with the hoods up. One of the subjects’ baseball caps had a Pirate’s “P” logo on the front and a red bill.

After obtaining an undisclosed amount of cash, the subjects fled on foot and were last seen running on Ridge Avenue. There were no injuries.

Four photographs from the bank's security cameras are below. These subjects are considered armed and dangerous, and anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 215-418-4000 or the Philadelphia Police Department. There may be a reward for information leading to the identification and apprehension of these subjects. Tipsters can remain anonymous.
