"eyewitness news" reporter syma chowdhry is at the scene

in fishtown to give us more on this story, syma. >> reporter: that is right, it sound like a scene from the movie but this is a real life armed robber here at the food distribution center. with me is chief inspector scott small. it sound like a scene from the movie. you said it happened in all five minutes. >> from the time these individual knocked on the door, identified themselves as police officer, went in, point a gun, forced these individuals to open up a safe, threatened to shoot and kill them if they didn't give them money. from the time they got money which was close to a hundred thousand dollars and realized this he were being recorded and tried to tear some of the video recording equipment from the wall, and then when they exit the location that also took about five minutes. now you fortunately although they tried to tear video monitor off the wall and pulled wires from the wall, the actual recording device was in another room, and it did record pretty much everything they did not only outside but inside. >> reporter: i know thaw are working to give us the the

media video for that but turf ask how were they dressed, how did they identify file them self as police officer. >> initially when they knock on the door, door was lock. when owner said was there they yelled through the door and said police. of course, owner yelled at the door. they weren't dressed in police uniforms. both had baseball caps on that said police, large, letters on the hat. one of them was wearing what appeared to be a badge around his neck. when we saw the recording of the vehicle, the the getaway vehicle that actually had flashing lights, on the dashboard, in the center. so there were several different ways they were impersonating police officers. so when they are caught that will be an additional charge impersonating a police officer which is a serious charge in addition to an armed robbery and threatening to kill someone pointing a gun. >> reporter: this seems to be unusual because the food distribution center is in the middle of no where. it seems odd for a business to have that much money or someone to even try to target

that business to rob them for that much money do you think there was some sort of knowledge before these two men came here. >> this is not an easy place to find during the day especially at 2:00 in the morning when it is dark and it is pretty dark back here. it is not easy to get to. it is very convoluted. we are in the ruling out the possibility that these individuals, one or both of them had been here, before. we always look at the possibility when we have a job of this magnitude that there is some inside knowledge, maybe ex-employees or a current employees, family or friend and that is what our detectives are doing right now. we have a list of all employees and all past employees full and part-time because we will look into any possibility of this being an inside job. >> reporter: how are the the owners doing right now, 2:15 this morning having a a gunpoint todd their head, being forced to the ground, it is traumatizing. >> they are clearly shaken up. i got here pretty quickly. both of the co-owners, one is male, one is female, this he were both forced to the

ground. both had to open the safe. they were so shaken up having a gunpointed at their head and their lives being threatened, initially the female could not open the safe and then male tried, he had some problems. it took them a while opening the safe. that is all captured on recording equipment, but they were forced to the ground, threatened to be shot and killed and the male co-owners they actually tried to tie his feet with something, they weren't successful, and they just left with whatever they tried to tie his feet with. >> reporter: thank you so much, chief inspector scott small. we are working to get more information and video. better description of the suspect. once we do we will pass it the along to you. we are live from fishtown, syma chowdhry cbs-3 "eyewitness news". >> syma, thank you. let get traffic and weather together. another hot day, katie. >> yes, we are. we are off to a mild start. good morning everybody. storm scan is quiet and still will be a pretty good day out there if you have outdoor plans. we are heating up out there nice wide zoom shows us our

updating breaking news, the search continues for two armed suspect robbed a food distribution center, on delaware avenue of an estimated hundred you this dollars in cash. it happened shortly before 2:30 this morning at the coa

trading corporation. the suspect's gain access to the building by impersonating police officers, allegedly wearing hats with the word police on it. they were also driving an suv with the light on the dashboard. we will have more on our breaking news with a live report coming up in our next half an hour. we have more breaking news, this is happening right now. we are looking live along kelly drive where we're hearing at least one person is in the water. you see a number of officers there at the scene, some emergency personnel ready to rescue that person from the water. to give you an idea where this is on kelly drive, we are told this is near st. joes prep boat house near strawberry mansion bridge, once again, crews are out there have after reports of at least one person is in the schuylkill river, that water search continues right now as you look live at the officers on the scene and we will stay with this and bring you updates as we get them. right now i want to get our forecast and yesterday heated it up, today.

>> basically a carbon cop toy a degree. little more steamy, a smidge. yesterday was hot but wasn't oppressive i didn't think. i didn't think. >> no, it was all good. i agree. >> but we will keep that going here today. weather should hold up for taney dragons. we are expecting it to be bright, sunny nice and the hot out there. >> nice, nice. >> there may be a shower or storm around. reason is a cold front which more than anything brings us more of a hook up then anything. because it will keep our hurricane out to sea. here's a nice wide look at cristobal which continues to churn as a category one hurricane moving slowly, to the north here and we will still be expect to make a right-hand hook here and stay well out to sea for the entire eastern seaboard of north america, here's a front, trough that will dig in, bring in cooler air and steer the flow and steer this storm away. so, what that means is that we're putting a squeeze play here where we will keep that humidity initially and then maybe a shower or storm that fires up as a result.

nothing widespread, nothing that requires to you cancel your plans but we will talk about that in a a second. here's a storm, cristobal and it is going to make that right-hand hook. it looks like it makes closest path to our area tomorrow but rip current risk had been elevated at least moderate, so far for the last couple days. today is high, and even though that storm will be well off to our north east in a couple days, we're likely going to have that delayed reaction where it stays elevated with the risk, choppy surf until things wind down. you tend to have that delayed reaction with big pattern changes like that. mostly sunny though, it looks at face value like an awesome beach day, be careful. you will be tempt todd jump in the waves with a day like this and uv index is also very high at a nine. sun block is absolute thely a requirement, in philadelphia i expect that we will easily hit 90 once again today. it is less humid by tomorrow. smack dab in between maybe just that spotty shower or storm and then friday looks

awesome, lower 80's, more sun, saturday still keeping some sun. our medication shot for shower or storm wouldn't happen again until sunday, ukee, back to you. thanks, katie. it looks like phillies go for a sweep tonight in south philadelphia when kyle kendrick starts begins first place washington nationals. last night freddie galvis nailed a two run home run in the fifth inning and the phillies had a lead on the nationals. cole hamels pitched into the the eighth but left a little bit upset. with the game tied at three, kenny giles struck out the side in relief, chooch got the clutch sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth to give phillies a win. your final score was four -three. nice win indeed. still ahead on "eyewitness news" this morning what is for lunch at one fast food chain, ask for it by name because it is not on the menu. ordering off menu. >> here we go. >> but first here's is what coming up tonight on cbs-3.
