QUEENS, N.Y. — Police are asking for the public’s help identifying two men wanted in connection with a series of robberies that occurred Saturday evening across multiple locations in Queens within the 108th and 110th Precincts.
The NYPD says the suspects committed three separate incidents on May 31, all involving threats or acts of violence and targeting victims for property theft.
In the first incident, reported at approximately 7:00 p.m. near Crane Street and Dead End, a 31-year-old man was approached by two individuals inside a white vehicle. One suspect displayed a firearm while the other punched and kicked the victim before taking his iPhone and house keys. The suspects fled in the vehicle. The victim declined medical treatment.
A few hours later, at approximately 10:00 p.m., the same 31-year-old victim was reportedly targeted again, this time at his residence near Crane Street and Jackson Avenue. The two suspects allegedly entered through the front door and stole two French Bulldogs and multiple pieces of clothing. No injuries were reported.
Earlier incident left another victim hospitalized
Police believe the two suspects also struck earlier that same day. Around 3:20 p.m., a 27-year-old man was accosted by two men in a white vehicle opposite 41-25 Crane Street. One suspect displayed a gun while the second pulled the victim into the car and assaulted him. The suspects stole his iPhone and $800 in cash before fleeing. The victim was taken to Mount Sinai Queens Hospital by private means for minor injuries.
Descriptions of the suspects have been released. The first individual is described as a male, light complexion, 20–25 years old, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and 180 pounds. He was last seen wearing a Bulls cap and black sweater.
The second suspect is described as a male with a dark complexion, 25–30 years old, standing approximately 6 feet tall and weighing around 220 pounds. He was last seen wearing a gray baseball cap and gray sweater.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the NYPD as the investigation continues.
