Philadelphia Police have released this surveillance video of a man wearing a horrible black knockoff Claude Giroux jersey who carjacked an unsuspecting 24-year-old in North Philly yesterday:
On October 22, 2014, at 3:15 pm, the complainant, a 24 year-old male, and a friend were at a Shell gas station located at 6200 North Broad Street purchasing gas when an unknown male approached him engaging him in a conversation about getting a ride. The suspect then entered the rear seat of the complainant’s car when he suddenly pulled a handgun. The complainant and passenger then exited the car calling police. The suspect then fled inside the complainant’s car, a 2014 white Toyota Corolla with a Pa. tag #JNR3637, and a vin # ending in 10262, and was last seen traveling west on Stenton Avenue from Broad Street.
Suspect Description: Black male, 20-30 years-of-age, 6’0″-6’2″, medium build, short hair, trimmed beard and mustache, tattoo under possibly of a teardrop, wearing a black/orange Flyers jersey with #28 on the back and the name “Giroux”, dark colored pants, brown boots, and armed with a handgun.
Two lessons here:
1) Never get gas in North Philly. Ever.
2) Never trust a person in a knockoff, alternative-design professional sports jersey. At the very least, they have bad taste. And they’re probably a criminal.
*Upshot? This may be the kind of assertiveness hacky beat writers have been looking for from Giroux.
