According to police, an 81-year-old woman withdrew $200 from the ATM and as she was finishing, a vehicle pulled out of a parking space at the back of the parking lot and stopped along the curb right behind her.

After the two suspects got back into the vehicle, police said they fled west on Cheltenham Avenue.

According to the Philadelphia Police Department, the possible tag for the vehicle involved is New Jersey Z439582.
One of the suspects was described as a man wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants with white writing on the lower part of the right leg and black boots.
The second suspect was described as a man wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt with light lettering on the left breast and dark Adidas pants. There is no description of the other person who was the driver of the vehicle.

According to police, when a woman was walking through the parking lot, she was approached by two armed men who then struck her in the face and knocked her to the ground.
The suspects then took off with the woman's backpack which contained approximately $30,000 in cash and coins, police said.
The suspects then got into an older model maroon SUV which police said was being driven by another man.
