The organizers for Wawa Welcome America have announced the lineup for this year's 25th anniversary July 4th concert. The free concert on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway will be headlined by Grammy winning, multi-platinum recording artist Mary J. Blige. The concert will also honor Philadelphia-natives Boyz II Men. The Philly POPS will be performing as well. They will be joined by Broadway star Mandy Gonzalez, from the Tony Award-winning hit musicals Hamilton, In the Heights and Wicked, and jazz singer, pianist, and songwriter Tony DeSare. The POPS performed at the very first event in 1993. The show begins at 7 p.m. with fireworks at 9:30 p.m. KIDZ BOP Kids will be performing earlier in the afternoon. More information about the entire week of Wawa Welcome America events will be announced later.

The FBI and Philadelphia Police are asking the public's help in identifying a man wanted for robbing two banks. On March 13th, he went to the Bank of America on 18th Street and Allegheny Avenue. He handed over a note demanding money and threatening to blow up the bank. He fled without any cash. On April 20th, the same man went to the Beneficial Bank branch in the 1400 block of Rhawn Street. He showed a note and this time left with an undisclosed amount of cash. He fled in a taxi. He is described as a black male in his late 30s to early 40s, with a goatee, and a neck tattoo. See photo below.

Princeton Police have released the sketch of a man they believe is responsible for groping three women. In the latest incident caught on video, the man is seen sneaking up behind her on the sidewalk, groping her, and then running away in the other direction. If you have any information you are asked to call Det. Chris Craven of the Princeton Police Det. Bureau at 609-921-2100. See the sketch of the man below.
