The New York Police Department (NYPD) has issued a call for assistance in identifying and locating a suspect wanted in connection with a robbery and assault incident that took place in Brooklyn earlier this year. NYPD Crimestoppers took to social media to disseminate information regarding the incident, which occurred at a commercial establishment located at 625 Atlantic Avenue on Sunday.
According to the details shared by NYPD Crimestoppers on Facebook, an unnamed individual is reported to have boldly entered the premises, brandishing a firearm. The suspect is then accused of utilizing this weapon to strike a 23-year-old male employee over the head before forcibly taking an estimated amount of $5,689. The NYPD is actively reaching out to the community for any information that could lead to the apprehension of the individual responsible for this crime. The police have promised a reward of up to $3,500 for tips that result in an arrest.
Individuals with any information regarding the suspect or the incident are encouraged to contact the NYPD by calling 800-577-TIPS. Tips can also be submitted online through the NYPD Crimestoppers website, an anonymous option for those who wish to provide information without disclosing their identity.
