Suspect Sought for Multiple Armed Robberies in Brooklyn


The New York City Police Department requests the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect linked to a series of robberies within the 83rd and 104th Precincts in Brooklyn.

The incidents, from May 6 to May 9, 2024, involved a light-complexioned male suspect dressed in all-black clothing, black sneakers with white soles, and a medical face mask.

The first incident occurred at approximately 7:03 PM on May 6, when the suspect entered a business at 918 Cypress Avenue, threatened a 57-year-old female with an unknown object, and stole around $600 from the register before fleeing south on Weirfield Street.

The following day, at around 11:49 AM, he targeted a location at 1042 Flushing Avenue, where he simulated having a firearm and demanded money from another 57-year-old female, escaping with $200 and heading west on Flushing Avenue.

Early on May 9, at about 5:27 AM, the suspect attempted another robbery at 268 Knickerbocker Avenue, displaying a knife to a 21-year-old female. He failed to open the register and fled west on Flushing Avenue. Later that day, at 10:20 AM, he successfully robbed another business at 150 Wyckoff Avenue, taking $900 from a 27-year-old female victim before running south on Wyckoff Avenue.

No injuries were reported in any of the incidents. The NYPD urges anyone with information to contact the authorities.
