According to a Facebook post by NYPD Crimestoppers, there have been eight incidents where victims were forcibly divested of their belongings by unidentified individuals in the vicinity of the 43rd Precinct.
The authorities are offering a reward of up to $3,500 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the suspects involved instrumental in these crimes, this robust response is indicative of the severity with which local law enforcement is treating the robbery pattern. The NYPD Crimestoppers' post calls on anyone with information to either call 800-577-TIPS or to anonymously submit tips through their website.
Concurrently, another incident has prompted a separate investigation by the NYPD's 48th Precinct.
