Philadelphia police searching for 5 men wanted in rape, burglary at Chinatown business
Philadelphia police say six men forced their way into a Chinatown business and robbed and sexually assaulted victims at gunpoint. One of the suspects was arrested, but five remain on the loose.
The men allegedly entered the building on the 400 block of North 9th Street around 4:40 a.m. Saturday. Once inside the building, police said multiple victims were robbed and sexually assaulted.
The suspects allegedly fled with property valued at over $2,000, according to the criminal complaint.
One of the suspects, 18-year-old Saidakhmad Bakiev, was found on the roof and arrested. He was charged with criminal conspiracy, aggravated assault, rape, burglary, robbery, false imprisonment, sexual assault, indecent assault and other related charges.
The other five men remain at large. They are believed to be in their 20s, with dark hair and possibly of Russian or Central Asian descent.
CBS News Philadelphia stopped by the Chinatown building Monday afternoon, where a "9 VIP Spa" sign could be seen next to the main entrance. The grates were down on all of the doors, and there were padlocks, too.
Google Maps shows "9 VIP Spa" is a 24-hour massage parlor, but our calls went straight to voicemail for the numbers listed online and on the side of the building.
If you have any information on this incident or their whereabouts, contact police.
