A 20-year-old was left rattled at the corner of Alden Place and Webster Avenue after a late-night robbery in the Bronx, and police say the gunman who pulled a handgun on him is still on the loose. The holdup happened on Wednesday night, Feb. 11, when the suspect allegedly flashed a firearm, demanded the victim’s belongings and then took off on foot.
What police released
According to NYPD Crime Stoppers, the man approached the 20-year-old victim at about 10:30 p.m. on Feb. 11, pulled out a black handgun and demanded the victim’s property. Investigators say the suspect then ran off in an unknown direction and that no one is currently in custody in connection with the case. Detectives shared still images with the wanted notice and continue to canvass the surrounding blocks for more clues.

Where this happened and local pattern
The intersection falls within the NYPD’s 46th Precinct, which covers parts of Fordham and nearby Bronx neighborhoods, according to the department’s precinct listing. Recent local coverage has flagged other robberies along Webster Avenue in the past few weeks, including a daylight Feb. 26 holdup at a 7-Eleven that investigators say brought in about $1,500, as reported in a Fordham 7-Eleven heist. Police and neighbors have urged nearby residents and shop owners to hang onto any surveillance or cellphone footage that might help detectives.

Investigators say the image circulated with the wanted flyer shows the suspect moving quickly from the scene and confirm that no injuries were reported in the Feb. 11 robbery. Anyone who has information, video or time-stamped files tied to the incident is asked to contact Crime Stoppers or local detectives, as outlined in the NYPD’s post.
