Philadelphia Police has arrested one person in connection with an explosion of an ATM during a robbery in Kensington on Wednesday night, 6/20. It happened around 10 p.m. inside Kenny's Place beer distributor on the 1800 block of East Allegheny Avenue near Jasper Street. The incident was caught on surveillance video. Police have arrested the female in the video seen lighting/placing the explosive device in the front of the ATM. They are still looking for a male accomplice. Police say that the explosive blew apart the top of the machine but the safe inside was still intact. The suspects did not get away with any cash. This is the fourth such dangerous explosive incident in the past two weeks in Philadelphia. None of those robberies were successful.

The woman has been identified as Tinikah Hogan, of the 3400 block of Emerald Street.
