Two muggings in different parts of the city are believed to be connected according to City Police.
A man was confronted on South Market Street and threatened with a weapon before having his cellphone and wallet stolen.
Sergeant Chuck Breen says the second robbery happened in the north end a short time later. A woman had her purse stolen at Lansdowne Plaza and was threatened with a weapon.
The suspect is described as between 35 and 45, over six feet tall, weighing 250 pounds and, at the time, was wearing dark clothing.
