Police in Delaware County are searching for a suspect responsible for one robbery and two attempted robberies. In each instance the man wore "a very distinctive rubber mask." The latest incident happened this morning around 9:11 a.m. at the Wells Fargo Bank at 888 Baltimore Pike in Springfield. The man handed over a note declaring a robbery and was given cash before fleeing the scene. He is described as a light-skinned male with a thin build between 5â€™7â€ and 5â€™9â€. He was wearing black sunglasses, a baggy gray hooded sweatshirt, baggy jeans, a black knit ski hat, and black gloves. He was also carrying a black bag and was wearing a distinctive rubber mask covering his face. The man is believed to be the same man who robbed the post offices in Yeadon and Darby yesterday.

Philadelphia Police have released video from the Sunday night robbery and shooting of 26-year-old Amber Long in Northern Liberties. The video shows two men approached Amber and her mother Stephanie on the 900 block of Front Street. One robber grabs the mother's purse and runs off. The other man attempts to grab Amber's purse, but she hold on. A second later she is shot and laying for dead in front of her mother. The police also have video that is believed to be of the suspect's car. Additional video is also being reviewed. There is a now a $30,000 reward in this case.

UPDATE 1/24/14: Reward has been increased to $37,000

Camden Police are looking for two suspects in a bizarre kidnapping attempt at a salon on Tuesday. It happened about 9:30am Tuesday, at the Zoujati Salon, on North 6th Street just before the snow started falling. Two males walked into the salon dressed in black robes and black head coverings brandishing a weapon. The woman in the salon had just opened for the day. The men put her in a large commercial trash bin and wheeled her outside in an attempt to abduct her. Once outside they must have gotten spooked because they left her there. The one jumped into a white van. One ran down the street, before also getting in the van. The incident was caught on tape. It shows the van with a stolen Pennsylvania license plate: JLJ-6784.
