Two masked men waited more than an hour outside of a Northeast Philly grocery store Thursday so they could steal holdup a businessman who was heading to a bank to make a cash deposit.
The 37-year-old victim pulled in to the parking lot of the Pathmark at Large Street and Bleigh Avenue just after 6 p.m. with about $70,000 to deposit at the Citizens Bank branch located inside the supermarket, according to authorities.
As soon as he arrived, the suspects pulled their vehicle behind the man's car -- blocking him in the parking space, police said.
The armed robbers demand the man's cash and shoot him in the right arm before taking off in a white Dodge Caravan, according to officials. The suspects were last seen driving on Cottman Avenue.
The shooting victim was rushed to Aria-Torresdale Hospital in stable condition, according to police.
