Police are searching for the
group of suspects they believe
are behind a series of robberies
in Maspeth earlier in February.
The group struck three different
times on Friday, Feb. 7, according to
authorities.
Police say the first incident occurred
just after 9 p.m. when the
suspects approached a 38-year-old
man in front of 71-01 Grand Ave.,
where the perpetrators punched
the man in the face and attempted
to steal his wallet from his pants
pocket.
They failed to do so and fled in an
unknown direction, cops said. The
victim refused medical attention.
Minutes later, the group struck
again. The suspects grabbed a 15-
year-old girl from behind in front
of 54-21 71st St. and snatched her
cellphone and AirPods before fleeing
northbound on 71st Street.
The girl refused medical
attention.
Minutes after that, the suspects
attempted another robbery. The
group approached a 41-year-old
man at 70th Street and 53rd Avenue
and proceeded to punch him in the
head, knock him to the ground, and
continue beating him before running
off with his backpack.
The victim refused medical
attention.
Cops released surveillance video
and photos of the suspects on Feb.
21.
