NEW YORK (1010 WINS) \u2014 Police released photos on Friday of two suspects wanted in connection to a violent robbery pattern spanning across the Bronx and Brooklyn.<\/p>\n
The spree targeted a wide range of victims, including a young child and senior citizens, with the thieves often using weapons or physical force to steal jewelry and personal belongings.<\/p>\n
According to officials, on March 24, the suspects approached a 10-year-old boy near East 142nd Street and St. Ann\u2019s Avenue Mott Haven. One of the suspects brandished a knife and made verbal threats to the child while demanding his coat, which was valued at approximately $1,000 before fleeing with it.<\/p>\n
The investigation into the spree began following a March 9 robbery that happened in front of 210 St. Ann\u2019s Ave. where a suspect snatched a chain from a man\u2019s neck and attempted to punch him before fleeing. <\/p>\n
Two days later, three suspects robbed a 47-year-old man at gunpoint near Brook Avenue and East 142nd Street, taking a necklace and cash with a combined value of $3,480, officials said.<\/p>\n
The spree also extended into Brooklyn on March 26, when a 20-year-old man had his necklace forcibly ripped from his neck by a suspect who escaped in a gray Ford sedan. <\/p>\n
On April 13, a 63-year-old man was knocked to the ground by two suspects who stole his $5,000 necklace near Brook Avenue, leaving him with minor injuries.<\/p>\n
The most recent attempt occurred on May 4, when three suspects unsuccessfully tried to rip a necklace from a 42-year-old man from behind in the vicinity of East 142nd Street and Brook Avenue.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information regarding any of these incidents is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK (1010 WINS) \u2014 Police released photos on Friday of two suspects wanted in connection to a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":233489,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[128,98,100,99,9,24,63,103],"class_list":["post-233488","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-bronx","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-nypd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233488"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233488\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/233489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233488"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
