FOX 29 obtained surveillance video showing the moments a group of individuals attempted to break the lock on a pharmacy security gate and when that didn’t work, the group worked together to rip the gate off, making their way inside the pharmacy.Several businesses were looted after Philadelphia police say a large group of people, including several juveniles, terrorized sections of the city during an 8-hour crime spree that began Tuesday night into the wee hours of Wednesday morning.
"About 3 o’clock this morning, I actually got a phone call from our tenants in the apartments above the pharmacy," owner of Fairmount Pharmacy, Gerald Volgraf, said.He says he ran out of his front door and got down to his pharmacy only to find absolute chaos. "When I got down here, the gates were ripped off, the store was mess, there was a ton of debris, a ton of damage. There were medications missing.
"After 12 big pulls from 10 or 12 guys, it ripped off its tracks and my tenants heard 12 to 15 loud bangs," Volgraf described the scene. Volgraf continued, "They were only in the pharmacy under two minutes and were able to do a tremendous amount of damage."
