PHILADELPHIA

Philadelphia police have identified two men charged with robbing five people during one 70-minute stretch in neighborhoods near the Temple University campus.

Police say Sunday they’re still looking for the suspects, 26-year-old Kevin Wilson and 21-year-old Timothy Ballard, for the robberies Nov. 30.

Police say one man would approach the victims with a gun, while the other acted as a lookout.

The victims were patted down and had money, cellphones and debit cards taken from them.

The robberies happened between 7:45 and 8:55 p.m. that evening.

Police Lt. Patrick Doherty says, “It is unusual to see something like this, that many robberies in such a short time span.”

Four of the five victims are Temple students.
