The Philadelphia Police Department is actively seeking the public's assistance in identifying three suspects wanted in connection with a burglary and arson incident that occurred at a corner store in North Philadelphia. The incident took place on the 1900 block of North Ringgold Street, with the fire being reported to authorities at approximately 6:30 a.m. on Thursday, October 1, 2026. Surveillance video released by investigators captures the suspects damaging an ATM inside the property. During the attempt to breach the ATM, one suspect reportedly injured his hand by wedging a pickaxe between it and the machine. Subsequent footage shows another individual squirting charcoal lighter fluid into a store aisle before a fire broke out in the kitchen area. Police have provided detailed descriptions of the three individuals. The first suspect is described as a boy between the ages of 15 and 17, standing between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 8 inches tall, with dreadlocks. He was last seen wearing a black TKS shirt, black pants, a black hoodie, and black Jordan 5 sneakers. The second suspect, who sustained a hand injury during the crime, is described as a boy between 16 and 19 years old, standing between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 9 inches tall. He was last seen wearing all-black clothing with trash bags covering his shoes. The third suspect is described as a man between 21 and 25 years old, with a thin build, standing between 6 feet 0 inches and 6 feet 2 inches tall. He was last seen wearing torn camouflage pants and Adidas Aristar or Spiritain sneakers. Investigators urge anyone with information regarding the suspects or the incident to contact the Philadelphia Police Department immediately to aid in the ongoing investigation.
