NYPD Warns About Armed Robbery Duo

By Idy Perl

The NYPD has announced that residents should keep an eye out for two men who have been committing armed robberies across NYC, from Queens to Brooklyn, and driving off each time in the same getaway car: a white Mercedes sedan. 

This past month alone the duo has committed six armed robberies and have threatened pedestrians at gunpoint before stealing their cash, wallets, watches, and other items worth tens of thousands of dollars. One 63-year-old man was injured when he tried to fight them off but was punched in the face before they ran off with his wallet. 

The duo also allegedly attempted to break into two private homes in Queens but were unsuccessful. 

Police are asking anyone with information to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.
