Robbers Brandish Assault-Style Rifles in Beauty Supply Shop Heist

Detectives are searching for two men who burst into a Philadelphia beauty shop carrying assault-style rifles and robbed the place of cash.

The robbery took place at the Wild & Crazy Beauty Supply shop at 4326 N. Broad Street in the Hunting Park section of the city just after 6 p.m. on Wednesday, according to Philadelphia Police.

With hoods up, the two men, one wearing a black ski mask and the other an animal print mask, pointed AR15 assault-style rifles at the employees and demanded cash.

As seen on surveillance video, the staff filled a dark bag with cash from the register and handed it to one of the suspects.

Police say both suspects then fled on foot in an unknown direction.

Both men are said to be in their late teens or early 20s. One was wearing a black Nike sweatshirt and black pants. The other wore a gray sweatshirt with a white "Adidas" logo on the front, dark pants and gray sneakers with bright red laces.

Anyone with information is asked to call Philadelphia Police's tipline at 215.686.TIPS.
