Authorities called in a SWAT team after a woman, who allegedly robbed a grocery store, barricaded herself inside a South Philadelphia home late Wednesday night.
Police arrived at a home on the 1700 block of South 65th Street around 10:30 p.m. to serve an unidentified woman with an arrest warrant for the armed robbery of a southwest Philly grocery store, located near South 65th and Belmar streets, officials said.
