Police from the 107th Precinct<\/a> are looking for an armed robber who was last seen walking down Hillside Avenue in Briarwood<\/a> carrying a half-dozen cell phone boxes on the morning of Tuesday, Oct. 28.<\/p>\n He allegedly stole them at gunpoint from a Total Wireless store minutes earlier, and he was heading towards a bus stop to make his escape, police said Wednesday.\n<\/p>\n The gunman entered the store located at 153-55 Hillside Ave. at 10:45 a.m. and approached the counter, pulled out a firearm and removed six cell phones, with a total value of approximately $2,300, before running out of the store, according to the NYPD. He was last seen boarding a southbound Q25 MTA bus, and he remains at large.<\/p>\n There were no injuries reported at the Total Wireless shop, police said.\n<\/p>\n The NYPD released a surveillance image of the suspect on Nov. 12 and asked for the public\u2019s help in identifying him. He is described as having a dark complexion with black hair in braided locs. He was wearing a black-hooded winter jacket, red sweatpants with white details, white sneakers and a black face covering.<\/p>\n A reward of up to $3,500 is being offered for information that leads to his arrest and indictment.\n<\/p>\n Anyone with information regarding this armed robbery investigation is asked to call the NYPD\u2019s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 888-57-PISTA (74782).
