The National Constitution Center in Philadelphia announced today that the 2015 recipient of the Liberty Medal will be the Dalai Lama. President and CEO Jeffrey Rosen likened it to a lifetime achievement award recognizing his decades of work advocating for the people of Tibet and promoting â€œfreedom, compassion, and tolerance worldwide.â€ The Dalai Lama said, â€œ"I am delighted as a recipient to be in the company of so many other inspirational leaders... I can think of no better place to be recognized than in the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection.â€ The spiritual leader of Tibet will be in town to receive the 27th Liberty Medal on October 26th.

Police have identified the 4th suspect wanted in connection with a burglary in Marple Township, Delaware County. Two men and a juvenile have already been arrested and arraigned. Authorities are looking for 36-year-old Tyree Eric Mansell with ties to Philadelphia, Lansdowne, and Yeadon. Brothers Jamain and Sterling Wallace were charged with robbery and assault. 17-year-old Abudllah Hartage of Philadelphia is also being charged as an adult. On Monday afternoon, they broke into a home on Old Cedar Grove Road in Broomall. They pistol whipped a teen and made him and his mother open a safe containing cash and jewels. The four fled in a silver sedan. When cops caught up to them, they fled on foot. Officers caught 3 of the 4. Anyone with information on Mansell is asked to contact police.

A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information that leads to the arrest of a man that carjacked a priest after robbing a pharmacy in Haddonfield, NJ on Tuesday. The man was wearing a construction vest, white hard hat, and carrying a orange cone when he entered the Rite Aid on the 700 block of Haddon Avenue around 12:10 p.m. The suspect jumped the pharmacy counter and stole Adderall. He then carjacked a retired priest and drove away before ditching the car and fleeing on foot. Witnesses say the man was measuring trees near the store before the robbery. A similar incident took place on May 22nd at a Rite Aid in Logan Township, Gloucester County. Rite Aid is putting up the reward. The man is described at 6' weighing 200 lbs.

Cloudy chance of a shower, temperatures in the low 80's / upper 70's this evening in Center City
