CHELTENHAM, Pa. - Police responded to the report of an armed robbery at a T-Mobile store located at 2401 West Cheltenham Avenue on Monday, August 22, 2016 at approximately 8:40 p.m.

At approximately 8:00 p.m., three black males entered the T-Mobile store. One of the three males brandished a firearm and the two employees were taken into the stockroom where the inventory of cell phones are stored.

The perpetrators gathered more than 45 devices, valued in excess of $21,000.00 and fled the store on foot. Their direction of travel is unknown.
