Three criminals posing as deliverymen
attempt thwarted robbery in the Bronx
BY HAZEL SHAHGHOLI
Cops are seeking the public’s assistance
in locating three men who attempted
an apartment robbery in the
Bronx, by having one male masquerade
as delivery person.
According to NYPD sources, the
fi rst assailant knocked on the door, declaring
himself to be delivering a package.
Believing his subterfuge, a 47-yearold
female opened the door only to have
the box thrown at her before a second
man burst into the apartment, menacing
the woman with a fi rearm while his
two accomplices waited in the hallway.
The incident occurred in the vicinity
of Sheridan Ave. and Marcy Place
on March 9 at 2:35 p.m.
NYPD report that a 57-year-old acquaintance,
who was present at the victim’s
home, grabbed the gun-wielding
assailant, forcing him out of the apartment,
after which the three imposters
fl ed the scene.
No property was taken and no injuries
occurred according to the 44th Precinct
response.
The box-carrying fi rst assailant
is described by authorities as a Black
man, 20-30 years old, of thin build who
was last seen wearing a black coat, blue
sweatpants and gray sneakers.
The second, fi rearm-equipped attacker
is described as of Hispanic-
White complexion, 20-30 years of age, of
thin build, who was last seen wearing
black sweatpants, black sneakers with
his hair fashioned into a ponytail.
The third crook is described as a
Hispanic-White man of average build,
last seen wearing a black coat, black
pants, white-and-black sneakers and a
cap with a red brim. He lingered in the
hallway as events unfolded.
In the below video, the criminals
appear in the following order: the third
hall-loitering criminal enters fi rst, followed
by the fi re-brandishing man
with the fraudulent “delivery man”
taking up the rear.
