Philadelphia Police have now released a video of an armed robbery that took place last Thursday night in the Cedarbrook section of Philadelphia. The incident took place at a Popeye's restaurant on the 3100 block of West Cheltenham Avenue. Police say that two men with guns entered the restaurant, jumped over the counter, and demanded money from an employee. The employee opened up the register and the suspects got away with over $1,300. Anyone with information on the suspects is asked to contact Philadelphia Detectives. See video of the incident below.

SEPTA Officials have now stated that the agency will be cracking down on panhandling that could possibly take place during the upcoming NFL Draft at several of its train stations. SEPTA stated they will mainly be focusing on the panhandling that takes place in the subway stops since passengers can feel trapped by the person begging for money. SEPTA stated that their plan to deal with the panhandlers is to refer them to social assistive programs, but they stated that they could be arrested or cited if they continue to panhandle.

Philadelphia Police are now investigating after a man was shot 15 times and killed in the Kensington section of Philadelphia on Monday. The shooting took place on the 600 block of East Clementine Street at around 5:45 a.m. Police were called to the scene after getting reports of gunshots in the area. When Police arrived on the scene they found the victim and his brother outside of their home. The victim was put in the back of a Police car and rushed to Temple University Hospital, but was later pronounced dead; the brother was not injured. Police say that two men ran up to the victim and shot him 15 times, 5 of the shots hit him in his face. Police are now searching for the two suspects, and say that they are investigating into a possible motive.
