The NYPD is looking for two
men who lured a 19-year-old
into a house and robbed him at
gunpoint in Maspeth this week.
On Tuesday, July 14, around 12:45
p.m., a 19-year-old man arrived at 60-
26 56th St., after getting a call that
his girlfriend was at the residence,
according to the police.
Once he arrived, the person who
originally called the 19-year-old,
locked him inside the entry way to
the home, according to authorities. A
second man was waiting in the entry
way and demanded that the 19-yearold
hand over his cellphone, police
sources said. The second man then
hit the 19-year-old in the head with
a handgun and stole his cellphone,
baseball hat and keys, according to
the NYPD.
The two thieves then fled from the
house on foot.
According to the police, the two
suspects are known to the victim.
The police wouldn’t comment further
on the relationship between the
three men.
No arrests have been made and
the investigation is ongoing.
