Police in New York City are looking for a person they say is wanted in over a dozen robberies in various Queens neighborhoods.
According to the NYPD, the individual is wanted in at least 18 separate incidents in which he is seen using a two-wheel vehicle, wearing a delivery bag and helmet.
The suspect is wanted in robberies reported in the Queens neighborhoods of Jackson Heights, East Elmhurst, Corona, Woodside, North Corona, Elmhurst, the NYPD said.
The robberies, which have taken place from March 22 and the latest reported April 14, occur at all times of the day, with some of them taking place as early as 8 a.m. and as late as 11:40 p.m., police said. They allegedly follow a similar pattern in which the suspect generally displays a firearm or knife and robs individuals — both men and woman, raging from 18- to 56-years-old — of their jewelry, purse or cash.
During one of the alleged robberies on March 28, the suspect cut open the jacket of a 34-year-old woman before he made off with her jacket and purse.
In another reported incident on April 11, the suspect stole a 43-year-old man’s backpack, cellphone, $1,200 in cash and tools.
Police ask anyone with information to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or, for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
