The NYPD on Thursday night pushed out surveillance stills of two people they say are tied to a citywide robbery pattern, asking New Yorkers to help put names to the faces. The images went out on social media under a blunt header, “WANTED FOR A CITYWIDE ROBBERY PATTERN,” along with multiple frames of the pair caught on camera. Police said the incidents stretch across several precincts in Brooklyn and Queens and urged anyone with information to step up.
In a post on X, NYPD Crime Stoppers said the duo is wanted in connection with incidents within the confines of the 72nd, 73rd, 79th, 81st, 83rd, 102nd, 108th and 110th precincts. The bulletin asked anyone with video, surveillance footage or eyewitness information to call the Crime Stoppers hotline or submit an anonymous tip through the department’s online portal. The post also noted that tips leading to an arrest and indictment may be eligible for a cash reward.
Where the incidents happened
The listed precincts span a wide slice of Brooklyn and Queens, from Sunset Park, Bed-Stuy and Bushwick to Kew Gardens, Richmond Hill, Long Island City and Elmhurst. The 72nd Precinct’s command area includes Sunset Park and Windsor Terrace, according to NYPD 72nd Precinct, while the 110th Precinct’s page lists Corona and Elmhurst among the communities it patrols, per NYPD 110th Precinct. Investigators said they are canvassing the affected neighborhoods and reviewing surveillance footage as the probe continues.
How to pass along tips
The city’s Crime Stoppers program says tips that lead to an arrest and indictment may be eligible for up to $3,500, and it offers several ways to get information to detectives. Tipsters can call 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), use the Spanish-language line at 1-888-57-PISTA (74782), file an anonymous tip online or message @NYPDTips on X. For full contact options and reward details, see the Crime Stoppers site.
What police have not said
The department’s social media post does not list names, ages or formal charges for the individuals pictured, and it offers no detailed timeline of the individual incidents. Detectives asked anyone with footage from any of the named precincts to forward it through the listed tip channels. The NYPD said tips will be evaluated to determine whether they lead to arrests and indictments, which in turn affect reward eligibility, according to NYPD Crime Stoppers.
If you recognize either person in the stills or have relevant video from any of the precincts listed, contact Crime Stoppers using the hotline, the Spanish line or the online portal. Tipsters can remain anonymous and may qualify for the posted reward if their information helps secure an arrest and indictment.
