The NYPD is searching for two men wanted in connection with eight robberies and attempted robberies across the Bronx, including several that happened within minutes of each other.<\/p>\n
Police say the pattern began on Sept. 10, when two suspects approached a 33-year-old man on West 192nd Street, simulated having a gun and stole about $1,700 worth of jewelry from his neck before fleeing on e-bikes.<\/p>\n
Three days later, police say the suspects carried out five robberies or attempted robberies in the 49th Precinct in less than 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
The incidents happened near Pierce and Hone avenues, Barnes Avenue and Pelham Parkway South, Olinville Avenue and Britton Street, Barker and Arnow avenues, and on Kingsland Avenue.<\/p>\n
Police say the suspects displayed a knife during one of the robberies. <\/p>\n
In another, they allegedly stole about $8,500 worth of jewelry from a 30-year-old man.<\/p>\n
The pattern continued Sept. 28., where police say a 35-year-old man near East Fordham Road struggled with the suspects and was able to recover about $3,300 worth of jewelry they attempted to steal.<\/p>\n
About 25 minutes later, police say the suspects approached a 60-year-old man near Duncan Street and Laconia Avenue, displayed a gun, punched him in the face and stole approximately $8,000 worth of jewelry.<\/p>\n
Police say the suspects are believed to be between 17 and 22 years old and took off on e-bikes in most of the incidents.<\/p>\n
