The following excerpt is from PennLive.

Instead of skill, this trio of suspected thieves allegedly wielded a sledgehammer to force the convenience store gaming machines produce cash. 6ABC cites its sources in reporting Philadelphia police have arrested three men who they believe are connected with a ring of thefts targeting Pennsylvania games of skill machines using a sledgehammer.

A police spokesperson told 6ABC the three suspects, all from Philadelphia, are identified as Tyreek Holmes, 32, Russell Mason-Watts, 20, and Marcus Evans, 36.
