Video: Ax-wielding suspects break into North Philly store during gunpoint robbery

Philadelphia police are searching for two suspects wanted in an armed robbery at a North Philadelphia store. 

It happened early Wednesday morning, at 2:25 a.m. inside a business on the 8200 block of West Venango Street.

Police have released surveillance video of the incident that begins with one of the suspects repeatedly hitting a security door with an axe. While the first suspect pounds away at the door, the second can be seen pointing a handgun at an employee inside. 

Once the suspects manage to breach the door, the second suspect continues to point his gun at the employee as he demands money.
