The NYPD is asking the public to help identify an individual wanted in connection with a robbery pattern across seven precincts. The precincts associated with the pattern are the 1st, 6th, 10th, 18th, 20th, 24th, and 94th.
According to NYPD Crimestoppers, the department is seeking the public's assistance in identifying the individual depicted in media attached to its alert, who is wanted in connection with the robbery pattern. Anyone with information is asked to send a direct message to @NYPDTips or call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), the same number printed on the wanted flyer shared by the department.
A Pattern Across Seven Precincts
The seven precincts cited are the 1st, 6th, 10th, 18th, 20th, 24th, and 94th.
The sole Brooklyn precinct in the pattern is the 94th.
How Separate Incidents Get Linked Into One Pattern
The NYPD's alert describes a single pattern across distant neighborhoods. The department posted the Crime Stoppers alert Tuesday. The NYPD has not detailed how many individual incidents make up this specific pattern, what items were targeted, or whether anyone was injured.
NYPD Crime Stoppers, administered in partnership with the nonprofit New York City Police Foundation since 1983, offers anonymous cash rewards of up to $3,500 for tips leading to an arrest and felony indictment, according to the New York City Police Foundation. The rewards are funded privately specifically to preserve callers' anonymity. Spanish-speaking residents in neighborhoods like East Harlem and the South Bronx can also reach a dedicated hotline at 1-888-57-PISTA (74782), which operates under the same anonymity protections as the main English-language line.
Felony Robbery Carries Steep Penalties Under State Law
Whatever the specifics of this pattern turn out to be, any theft involving physical force or the threat of force is automatically classified as a felony robbery under New York Penal Law Article 160, with no misdemeanor robbery charge available under state law, according to the New York State Senate. Penalties can reach up to 25 years in state prison for First-Degree Robbery involving a firearm or dangerous weapon.
Robbery Pattern Amid a Broader Crime Decline
The pattern comes amid a broader decline in major crime. Vital City reported that major crime fell 5.6% in the first half of 2026.
This is not the first multi-precinct robbery pattern Hoodline has tracked in recent weeks. Earlier this month, two e-bike suspects were sought in a string of eight jewelry robberies across Bronx precincts, while a separate alert in September covered a pattern spanning the 41st, 42nd, and 43rd precincts in the South Bronx. The scale of Tuesday's alert, reaching into Manhattan and Brooklyn on top of the Bronx, marks a notably wider footprint than those earlier cases.
