Police say an 11-year-old was the youngest of three boys targeted in a robbery spree in Bushwick, where thieves threatened him.<\/p>\n
The boy said that one of the thieves told him, \u201cI\u2019m going to shoot you.\u201d<\/p>\n
The NYPD is searching for two men who they say are responsible for robbing the boy and a 15-year-old in two separate incidents on Feb. 11, while targeting a 14-year-old a week prior. The three thefts occurred within blocks of each other.<\/p>\n
Authorities say the first incident happened Feb. 5 around 3 p.m. in front of 1525 Myrtle Ave. One thief grabbed the 14-year-old by his neck and said, \u201cGive me all your stuff.\u201d The duo got away with his iPhone, jacket, sweatshirt and $50.<\/p>\n
On Feb. 15, just before 4 p.m. in front of 1495 Greene Ave., one robber held a 15-year-old at knifepoint while the other struck the teen in the head, according to police. They stole his iPhone and jacket.<\/p>\n
An hour later, in front of 1350 Greene Ave., one male threatened the 11-year-old with a gun before the pair took his iPhone and jacket, authorities say.<\/p>\n
The 15-year-old suffered minor injuries, while the 14-year-old and the 11-year-old were not injured.<\/p>\n
