Philadelphia police are searching for multiple suspects who robbed a groom in the city's Old City neighborhood.

It happened around 11:30 p.m. Saturday as the groom was walking toward National Mechanics Restaurant on South 3rd Street.

Police say the groom was getting some fresh air during his wedding reception when he was robbed of his Rolex watch by two armed men.

The suspects were able to get away after the theft.

The men were described as wearing all black and reportedly fled in a dark-colored vehicle.

The groom was not injured in the incident.

Police are also investigating several armed robberies that have taken place in Center City in recent weeks, but investigators have not said if the Old City incident is connected.

This is not a repeat from Friday night. I think spotters are watching for people wearing expensive jewelry and then calling their thug buddies. They know the police are defanged so they rob without fear. You know things are bad when even chichi hipsters are not safe at their own wedding.

Good description. Certainly not racist. Which is the main thing.

The assailants were wearing dark clothing and drove away in a dark vehicle. Is it safe to assume they have a dark complexion since the reporter failed to mention their race?

No they were probably part of the Amish element in nearby Lancaster County.

“The men were described as wearing all black and reportedly fled in a dark-colored vehicle.”

Perchance, were they wearing MAGA hats, speaking with a Nigerian accent, put a noose around his neck and splash bleach on him?

That was my thought, too.

What groom walks out of a wedding...surely a buddy would go with him.

So these masked banditos were waiting in the alley in case someone with a real expensive watch walked out??

This is one for Barnaby Jones.

Because even most rich people are sheep the demand for Rolexes currently far outstrips supply. Watches that retail for under $10k are selling used for over $20k. Being small, watches pack a lot of illgotten gains in a small package. This is not an insurance scam but a longstanding problem for rich sheep.

How did they know he was wearing a Rolex? His sleeves would have covered it.
