PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — It was a terrifying afternoon at a West Philadelphia daycare center. Young children were inside the Munchkins to Masterminds Daycare on West Girard Avenue when armed robbers held up the building and released pepper spray.
Staff and toddlers were checked out at the daycare. No one was injured. Police say this was all over an iPad.
“It’s just a tragedy that this happened here in our neighborhood,” a woman said.
A West Philadelphia daycare was robbed at gunpoint in the middle of the day when toddlers were inside.
“Like who would think to do that?” a woman said.
This all happened at Munchkins to Masterminds on the 5400 block of West Girard Avenue around 1:30 Friday afternoon.
Police say as the robbers were leaving, they pepper-sprayed the common area filled with two staff members and seven toddlers between the ages of 1 and 3.
“I live in this neighborhood and for somebody to rob a daycare with children in there, that’s very terrible,” a woman said.
“They could be traumatized for the rest of their life because of this,” another woman said.
Police say the suspects got away with one iPad.
People who live in the area sounded off at the senseless crime committed in a place meant to keep children safe.
“I was terrified to the pit of my stomach,” a woman said.
“We are a city of brotherly love. Come on now, just show us some brotherly love, you know,” a woman said.
We did reach out to the daycare and have not heard back. No arrests have been made.
Police say the suspects got away with one iPad.
No description of the perps. Throw in the fact it’s West Philly, makes me think Amish yutes running amok.
Forget it Jim. It’s Philly with a Soros-financed MARXIST-styled DA psychopath named Krashnar.
Day care, there’s good shit in those diapers.
milk money?
This is equivalent to the Clinton’s in Haiti.
iPad huh...
Hmmmmm.
Looking for home addresses of the parents whose kids are in the daycare center? Open house.
Somebody’s looking for an address of a baby mama because maybe papa is a heavy-hitting drug lord and some part of town that wants to get taken over by an opposing drug lord?
If it is just a stolen iPad they’re either looking for addresses or they’re just going to unload an iPad.
Maybe they saw the word “CARE” and they figured drugs were in there?
Makes me want to go watch a crime drama...
Did they get any Baby Bottles?
Maybe they wanted some breast feeding?
Teen? Youths? Usually we can see the ages of perps but never what they look like.
Too convoluted! The perps can't think that many steps in advance!
Gotta find the assassin in order to find his ship in order to find the dagger in order to find the Wayfinder in order to find the way to Exegol in order to...
These people just don't think that many steps in advance.

Honestly, does there need to be?
A daycare in Philly was robbed at gunpoint for an iPad. Do you think anyone is looking for a white guy?
Obviously a Chinese Triad operation./sarc
One of the institution's graduates?
Terrorists usually want to kill, not pepper spray. Sounds more like a no-kill gang initiation with the iPad as a trophy. There’s not much to rob from a daycare center, after all, but there’s not much security there to contend with either.
Terrorists usually want to kill,
Most likely.🙄
In 1990, Philadelphia was a city understood largely in terms of white and black. At the time, it was a majority-white city with a large black minority and small groups of Hispanics and Asians. Two decades later, it is a plurality-black city with a large but dwindling white minority and rapidly expanding contingents of Hispanics and Asians.
