Man Takes Cash, Ice Cream From Mister Softee Trucks

It’s not like stealing candy from a baby but it is stealing ice cream from Mister Softee.

Surveillance images captured a man swiping ice cream and money from ice cream trucks parked at a Juniata Park lot in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Philadelphia Police said the man went into several trucks parked at the E Lycoming Street lot taking tasty treats and money while damaging the vehicles.

The man wore a dark-colored coat with a bright stripe across it during the heist where he tried to open doors before breaking into some trucks and even a van.

Police asked anyone who recognizes the ice cream crook to contact East Detective Division Det. Somogyi at 215-686-3243/44.
