Police are looking for four suspects who robbed a man at gunpoint at his home in Olney on Wednesday afternoon. It happened around 3:15 p.m. on the 5400 block of North 2nd Street in Philadelphia. 44-year-old Khamphoy Detmongkhoune had just placed his child in the car when a man dressed as a postal worker walking down the street pulled a gun. The suspect forced him back into the home. This was all captured on surveillance video. Three more suspects ran to join them. The man was zip-tied and pistol whipped. They ransacked the home and made off with $5,000, an iPhone 7, and the victim's house and car keys. They fled in a black Buick Lucerne sedan and a grey Pontiac sedan that were waiting. The child was unharmed. Anyone with information is asked to contact Philadelphia police.
