Police are now investigating after two armed men robbed a Little Caesar's Pizza in the West Oak Lane section of Philadelphia. The robbery took place on the 1500 block of Wadsworth Street at around 9 pm on Tuesday. Surveillance footage from the incident shows two armed men with butcher-style knives enter the store. One of the suspects grabbed an employee and the other pointed his knife at the employee and demanded he open up the register. Police say that one of the suspects got irritated and punched the employee in the face. Both suspects got away with an unknown amount of cash.

Police in Atlantic City uncovered a large amount of heroin from a simple drug deal on the street. AC Police say that officers were conducting a narcotics investigation and witnessed a transaction between two men on the corner of South Carolina Avenue and Bacharach Boulevard on Wednesday afternoon. Once the men were arrested the officers then searched a home on Magellan Avenue and found 6,325 bags of heroin and over $8,000 cash. The two men and another woman are now facing drug charges.

A Philadelphia Police officer is now being charged after he allegedly punched his wife and chased her in a marked police car which led to a crash injuring another driver. 30-year-old Antonio Mayhew, who is a 10-year veteran of the force, was on duty early Tuesday morning when he left his assigned area at around 1:45 a.m. in his police cruiser. Police say that Mayhew got into a domestic dispute with his wife on the 5200 block of Market Street. During the dispute, Mayhew hit his wife in the head with his fist while she was inside of her car. Police say that she started to drive away, and Mayhew got in his police cruiser, put on the siren and lights and began to chase her. During the chase, Mayhew's wife crashed into another car on 61st and Walnut Streets. Mayhew then arrived on the scene and medics were called to the scene of the crash. The driver of the hit vehicle was taken to the hospital with critical injuries but has since been treated and released. Mayhew is now being charged with aggravated assault, official oppression and many other related charges. He has since been suspended for 30 days with intent to dismiss.
