A diner at one of Northern Liberties' hippest spots stole a backpack another woman left at the restaurant and police hope someone knows who the thief is because the bag contained a loaded handgun and knife.
Surveillance video captured the theft at Cantina dos Segundos on N 2nd Street around 3:30 p.m. Monday, said Philadelphia Police.
The woman -- wearing sunglasses on top of her brunette hair, a blue-striped shirt and black shorts -- can be seen getting up from her table outside inside the eatery and going inside while speaking on her cellphone. The woman then can be seen grabbing the red backpack off the back of a seat where the other woman inadvertently left the bag.
The suspect then sits back down with her male companion and begins going through the bag. The couple then finishes their meal, the woman puts on the bag and they leave about 40 minutes later.
Police said the bag contained the other woman’s house keys, car keys, reading glasses a knife and a semiautomatic Ruger LCP .380 handgun loaded with six rounds.
Anyone who recognizes the gun thief is asked to contact East Detectives at 215-686-3242/44.
