NEW YORK (1010 WINS) \u2014 Police are searching for a trio of scooter-riding men sought in three closely-timed robberies in Brooklyn and Queens this month, the NYPD announced Monday.<\/p>\n
The first two crimes were committed back-to-back in Greenpoint and Williamsburg on Friday, Oct. 10, police said.<\/p>\n
A 38-year-old woman had the chain snatched off her neck when she was approached by strangers on a moped at the intersection of Huron Street and McGuinness Boulevard at about 1:45 p.m., officials said.<\/p>\n
Fifteen minutes later, the suspects committed the same crime at Union Avenue and Meeker Avenue, grabbing the chain from the neck of a 26-year-old woman before driving off, according to police.<\/p>\n
The next day, at about 12:20 p.m. in Sunnyside, the suspects allegedly repeated the crime again, snatching the chain off a 42-year-old woman in front of a Bank of America at Greenpoint Avenue and 46th Street.<\/p>\n
No injuries were reported in any of these incidents.<\/p>\n
Surveillance video obtained from the robbery in Williamsburg shows three men on two scooters wearing mostly black who are accused of the crimes.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.<\/p>\n
