The New York City Police Department is seeking public assistance to identify two individuals linked to a series of armed robberies in the Bronx. According to the NYPD, the suspects are allegedly involved in at least two incidents on September 13, where they followed victims into a commercial establishment and onto a street before brandishing a firearm and stealing jewelry.
Details of the first incident, as reported to police, reveal that at around 10:28 p.m., the suspects drove a gray infinity and followed a 37-year-old man into a business located at 1361 Ogden Avenue. Inside, one suspect displayed a firearm while his accomplice stripped the victim of his jewelry. They then fled westbound on 170 Street. The same evening, around 10:45 p.m., near East 173 Street and Clay Avenue, the pair, emerging from the same vehicle, confronted a 47-year-old woman. Displaying the firearm yet again, they removed her jewelry before escaping eastbound on 173 Street.
Authorities have provided descriptions of the wanted individuals. The first individual, seen in a Facebook post by the NYPD, is a male last spotted wearing a black ski mask, a multicolored striped sweatshirt, black jeans, and black sneakers. His accomplice is also a male, last seen wearing a black ski mask, black sweatshirt, black jeans, and black sneakers. The NYPD has encouraged anyone with information to contact them directly via DM @nypdtips or to call 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
