Police Seek Crowbar-Wielding Burglar Who Stole Loaded Gun From Andorra Apartment

A crowbar-wielding burglar broke into an apartment in Philadelphia's Andorra neighborhood and stole a Glock handgun, police said. Now, investigators are searching for the burglar and the stolen gun.

Police said the bandit used a crowbar to force the door open at a home in the Woodmere Apartments, on Henry Avenue near Port Royal, about 2:40 p.m. March 23. Once inside, the burglar stole a fully loaded Glock 17C 9mm handgun.

Surveillance video from the apartment complex captured a champagne-colored 2004 Mitsubishi Galant sedan with tinted windows drop off a heavyset man carrying a shoulder bag, according to police. Police said they believe the driver of the car acted as a lookout while the heavyset man burglarized the apartment.
