It happened on the 7200 block of Ogontz Avenue around 3:15 p.m., according to PPD. 

The victim, a manager at an area Rite Aid, was riding in an Uber to deliver a cash deposit of $32,000, authorities said. The suspects rear-ended the Uber and snatched the money while the driver got out to assess the damage, according to detectives. 

Investigators said the robbers drove an older model, gray or silver Honda CRV with a paper tag and a Lyft sticker on the front windshield. They wore all-black clothes and ski masks and were last seen near Woolston Avenue and Beverly Road.
