Armed robbery in the Live! Casino parking garage: $4,000 taken

The parking garage of the Live! Casino in South Philadelphia was once again the scene of a violent incident. Four masked and armed attackers assaulted a woman and took her bag. The bag contained $4,000 in cash.

The robbery took place shortly before midnight. Although the woman was shaken by the incident, she was not injured. She reached her car and informed both the police and the casino about what had happened. The attackers were reported to have fled the scene in a white Honda Accord.

An incident had also occurred in the same garage a day earlier. In a fight on Wednesday, a man was stabbed twice, and the attacker fled in a dark-colored Infiniti SUV. According to the information available to police, there is no connection between the two incidents.

The press points out that these incidents are part of a rise in crime in the early hours across Philadelphia. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, attackers targeting casino patrons look for a specific profile. They prefer customers who appear to be carrying larger amounts of money.

According to the newspaper, all four attackers in Thursday's incident were men and wore ski masks. The vehicle they used was reported to have been stolen in New Jersey.
