Philadelphia Police are searching for a suspect wanted for stealing $500,000 worth of jewelry from a backpack in a Center City hotel on Monday morning, 1/28. It happened at 10:30 a.m. at the Sofitel Hotel located on S. 17th Street. The backpack belonged to former Philadelphia 76ers star Allen Iverson. Iverson was not present at the time.

Dubbed "Operation Zombie," the investigation recovered 36 guns and 20 ounces of methamphetamine. Five people were also arrested. One of the guns was used in the murder of 2-year-old Nikolette Rivera.
